Name	Type	Description
`data`	`string`	Lua string bytes passed to Base64 encoder.

Name	Type	Description
`encoded`	`string`	Base64 output returned as a Lua string.

Encodes a Lua string's bytes with Base64 encoder, using = padding and no line breaks.

Call it with 1 parameter(s): data. The argument table explains which values are required and which ones only refine the behavior.

It returns encoded (string). Use the returns table to separate successful values from nil results and recoverable errors.

Encode a Lua string and print the Base64 output.

local encoded = base64_encode("hello world")

print(encoded)
print(base64encode("hello world"))
print(base64.encode("hello world"))
