Decode Base64

Turn a Base64 string back into readable text or raw bytes.

What it can do

Decode the standard Base64 alphabet
Ignore whitespace safely
Feed the recovered bytes into additional operations

Recipe

From Base64 → output

Demonstration

Input:

U28gbG9uZyBhbmQgdGhhbmtzIGZvciBhbGwgdGhlIGZpc2gu

Expected output:

So long and thanks for all the fish.

Extend it

Add JSON Beautify for API payloads, Gunzip for a compressed wrapper, or To Hex when the decoded result is binary. Verify the bytes before assuming the next layer.
