How to convert JSON to Base64?
The process is straightforward:
- Paste your JSON data in the input box
- Click 'Encode' to convert it to Base64
- See the encoded string in the output
- Use 'Decode' to convert Base64 back to JSON
- Copy the result for your needs
Understanding Base64 Encoding
Base64 encoding converts binary data (like JSON) into ASCII text format using 64 characters. This makes your data safe to use in URLs, embed in HTML, or transmit through systems that only accept text. It's not encryption - it's encoding, which means it's reversible and doesn't provide security, just format conversion.
When Base64 Encoding is Useful
- Including JSON data in URLs without breaking the URL structure
- Encoding data for API transmission that requires ASCII text
- Storing JSON as Base64 in databases or systems
- Transmitting data through systems that only accept text format
