    // For example, let's say we want construct simple JSON containing the base64 representation of the above JPG file.
    var sb = new chilkat.StringBuilder();
    sb.Append("{ \"jpg\": \"");
    // GetEncodedSb appends the enocded representation of the binary data to the StringBuiler passed in the 2nd arg.
    bd.GetEncodedSb("base64",sb);

    console.log(sb.GetAsString());

    // Output looks like this:
    //  { "jpg": "/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAg...rcQ+vo//2Q==" }
