S-BASE64 is an open source Common Lisp implementation of Base64 encoding and decoding. Base64 encoding is a technique to encode binary data in a portable, safe printable, 7-bit ASCII format. For a general introduction, please consult the Wikipedia article on
Base64.
This simple package is used as a building block in a number of other open source projects e.g. the KPAX web development framework.
S-BASE64 can:
S-BASE64 is considered stable code.
October 2005 - Created as a separate project.
S-BASE64 is written in ANSI standard Common Lisp and should be portable
across any CL implementation.
The S-BASE64 package is loaded using ASDF.
There is an excellent tutorial on
ASDF to get you started.

Example of setting up and using ASDF to compile and load the package
To encode you start with either a binary input stream or a byte array
and write to a character output stream. To decode you start from a
character input stream and write to a binary output stream or return a
byte array. You can use the standard CL marcros WITH-OUTPUT-TO-STRING of
WITH-INPUT-FROM-STRING to convert to and from a string. The following
listener transcript show how to compute the second example from RFC
3548, section 7:
CL-USER 1 > (in-package :s-base64)
#<The S-BASE64 package, 50/128 internal, 4/16 external>
S-BASE64 2 > (setf bytes #(#x14 #xfb #x9c #x03 #xd9))
#(20 251 156 3 217)
S-BASE64 3 > (with-output-to-string (out)
(encode-base64-bytes bytes out))
"FPucA9k="
S-BASE64 4 > (with-input-from-string (in *)
(decode-base64-bytes in))

Example Base64 Encoding and Decoding
There is automatically generated API Referencedocumentation
available for the S-BASE64 package in doc/API.html.
The KPAX mailing list is used for this project.
Release Notes:
S-BASE64 into a seperate project under a new
structureThere is a variant of Base64 encoding used for URL's and filenames that could be implemented.
Nothing appropriate.
Illegal input results in generic low-level CL conditions rather than a more meaningful high-level application specific condition.
