Base64编码解码

what is base64 coding and decoding is in reference to

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64
 

//sample code in c++. Please note that the code needs refinements as there is some warning in some analysis tools,e.g. pc-lint, Coverity etc.

// it is just a sample code for study.

//declaration in header

std::string base64Encode(const std::vector<char>& byteData);
std::vector<char> base64Decode(std::string & const inputString);

 

//implemenation
