From Base64

Description

This operation is used to decode data from a Base64 string back into its raw format. Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding method commonly used to encode binary data (like images or files) into text that can be easily transmitted over text-based protocols such as email, JSON, or XML. It’s also used for data storage, ensuring the data remains ASCII-safe.

Data types

These are the input/output expected data types for this operation:

Input data

- The Base64 strings you want to decode.

Output data

- Decoded strings.

Parameters

These are the parameters you need to configure to use this operation (mandatory parameters are marked with a *):

Strict Mode

Set this option to true to include additional checks and ensure the input is correctly formatted as Base64. Enabling Strict Mode can be useful to catch any errors or irregularities in the Base64-encoded input, preventing potential issues in decoding or data processing.

Example

Suppose you want to decode a series of events in the Base64 encoding scheme:

1. In your Pipeline, open the required Action configuration and select the input Field.

2. In the Operation field, choose From Base64.

3. Set Strict Mode to true.

4. Give your Output field a name and click Save. The values in your input field will be decoded. For example:

SGVsbG8sIE9udW0h -> Hello, Onum!

You can try out operations with specific values using the Input field above the operation. You can enter the value in the example above and check the result in the Output field.
