# For example, let's say we want construct simple JSON containing the base64 representation of the above JPG file.
set sb [new_CkStringBuilder]

# GetEncodedSb appends the enocded representation of the binary data to the StringBuiler passed in the 2nd arg.
CkBinData_GetEncodedSb $bd "base64" $sb
CkStringBuilder_Append $sb "\" }"

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