decodeSingleString()

static void decodeSingleString ( const String &  in, QByteArray &  base64_uncompressed, bool  zlib_compression  )

static

Decodes a Base64 string to a QByteArray.

Parameters

in	A String containing the Base64 encoded data
out	A ByteArray containing the decoded data
zlib_compression	Whether the data should be decompressed with zlib after decoding in Base64

decodeStrings()

static void decodeStrings ( const String &  in, std::vector< String > &  out, bool  zlib_compression = false  )

static

Decodes a Base64 string to a vector of (null-terminated) strings.

You have to specify whether the Base64 string is zlib-compressed.

Parameters

in	A String containing the Base64 encoded data
out	A vector containing the decoded data (split at null "\0") bytes
zlib_compression	Whether the data should be decompressed with zlib after decoding in Base64

decodeUncompressed_()

void decodeUncompressed_ ( const String &  in, ByteOrder  from_byte_order, std::vector< ToType > &  out  )

staticprivate

Decodes a Base64 string to a vector of floating point numbers.

encode()

void encode ( std::vector< FromType > &  in, ByteOrder  to_byte_order, String &  out, bool  zlib_compression = false  )

static

Encodes a vector of floating point numbers to a Base64 string.

You can specify the byte order of the output and if it is zlib-compressed.

Note

in will be empty after this method

encodeIntegers()

void encodeIntegers ( std::vector< FromType > &  in, ByteOrder  to_byte_order, String &  out, bool  zlib_compression = false  )

static

Encodes a vector of integer point numbers to a Base64 string.

You can specify the byte order of the output and if it is zlib-compressed.

Note

in will be empty after this method

encodeStrings()

static void encodeStrings ( const std::vector< String > &  in, String &  out, bool  zlib_compression = false, bool  append_null_byte = true  )

static

Encodes a vector of strings to a Base64 string.

You can specify zlib-compression.

Parameters

in	A vector of data to be encoded (String)
out	A String containing the Base64 encoded data
zlib_compression	Whether the data should be compressed with zlib before encoding in Base64
append_null_byte	Whether a null-byte should be appended after each of the Strings contained in the in vector

Note

Unless append_null_byte is false, will add a null byte ("\0") at the end of each input
