// Go provides built-in support for [base64
// encoding/decoding](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64).
package main
// This syntax imports the `encoding/base64` package with
// the `b64` name instead of the default `base64`. It'll
// save us some space below.
import (
b64 "encoding/base64"
"fmt"
)
func main() {
// Here's the `string` we'll encode/decode.
data := "abc123!?$*&()'-=@~"
// Go supports both standard and URL-compatible
// base64. Here's how to encode using the standard
// encoder. The encoder requires a `[]byte` so we
// convert our `string` to that type.
sEnc := b64.StdEncoding.EncodeToString([]byte(data))
fmt.Println(sEnc)
// Decoding may return an error, which you can check
// if you don't already know the input to be
// well-formed.

// This encodes/decodes using a URL-compatible base64
