What is Base64 Encoding?

Base64 is a group of binary-to-text encoding schemes that represent binary data in radix-64 representation. It uses a set of 64 ASCII characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /) to encode binary data. This encoding method is commonly used in various applications including email protocols, data storage, and web development.
