Base64Url

Hex.pm

Standalone URL safe base64-compatible codec.

Usage

URL-Safe base64 encoding:

base64url:encode(<<255,127,254,252>>).
<<"_3_-_A">>
base64url:decode(<<"_3_-_A">>).
<<255,127,254,252>>

Vanilla base64 encoding:

base64:encode(<<255,127,254,252>>).
<<"/3/+/A==">>

Some systems in the wild use base64 URL encoding, but keep the padding for MIME compatibility (base64 Content-Transfer-Encoding). To interact with such systems, use:

base64url:encode_mime(<<255,127,254,252>>).
<<"_3_-_A==">>
base64url:decode(<<"_3_-_A==">>).
<<255,127,254,252>>

Thanks

To authors of this and this.
