Get Contents of File as Base64

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates how to read the contents of a file and convert to a base64 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();

    bd.loadFile("qa_data/jpg/starfish.jpg") catch {
        std.debug.print("Failed to load file.\n", .{});
        return;
    };

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

    // If you want mult-line base64:
    std.debug.print("--\n", .{});
    std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try bd.getEncoded(alloc, "base64_mime")});

    // If you want hex..
    std.debug.print("--\n", .{});
    std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try bd.getEncoded(alloc, "hex")});

    // etc..
