See more Encryption Examples

_LANGUAGE_ example to base-64 encode and decode a string. Zig

const std = @import("std");
const chilkat = @import("chilkat");

pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {
    const alloc = init.arena.allocator();

    const bd = try chilkat.BinData.init();
    defer bd.deinit();

    const s = "A friend called me up the other day and talked about investing in a dot-com that sells lobsters. Internet lobsters. Where will this end? --Donald Trump";

    try bd.appendString(s, "utf-8");

    const str_base64 = try bd.getEncoded(alloc, "base64");
    std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{str_base64});

    // To decode:
    const bd2 = try chilkat.BinData.init();
    defer bd2.deinit();
    bd2.appendEncoded(str_base64, "base64") catch {};

    const decoded = try bd2.getString(alloc, "utf-8");
    std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{decoded});
}
