Fast base64 support

This package provides a Haskell library for working with base64-encoded data quickly and efficiently, using the ByteString type.

Performance

This library is written in pure Haskell, and it's fast:

  • 250 MB/sec encoding

  • 200 MB/sec strict decoding (per RFC 4648)

  • 100 MB/sec lenient decoding

Get involved!

Please report bugs via the github issue tracker.

Master git repository:

  • git clone git://github.com/bos/base64-bytestring.git

And a Mercurial mirror:

  • hg clone https://bitbucket.org/bos/base64-bytestring

(You can create and contribute changes using either Mercurial or git.)
