The Base64 encoding scheme is commonly used when binary data needs to be encoded, especially when the data needs to be stored and transmitted over media designed to process text. This encoding helps to keep the data unmodified during transmission. Base64 is commonly used in many applications, including email via MIME as well as storing complex data in XML or JSON.
