Base64 Lua | Download

The most reliable way to get a Base64 library is through the LuaRocks repository . Open your terminal and run: luarocks install base64 Once installed, you can use it in your script like this:

If you are using a modern version of Lua and want a lightweight function without external dependencies, you can use a bitwise-based function found in community snippets on Stack Overflow or GitHub Gists . base64 - LuaRocks Download Base64 lua

: A popular, pure Lua implementation that works with Lua 5.1+ and LuaJIT. The most reliable way to get a Base64

local base64 = require("base64") -- Encoding local encoded = base64.encode("Hello Lua!") print(encoded) -- Output: SGVsbG8gTHVhIQ== -- Decoding local decoded = base64.decode(encoded) print(decoded) -- Output: Hello Lua! Use code with caution. Copied to clipboard Option 2: Standalone Script (No Installation) local base64 = require("base64") -- Encoding local encoded

If you cannot use LuaRocks, you can download a single-file implementation and include it directly in your project folder.

: Another widely used script that follows the standard Base64 RFC. Option 3: Built-in Bitwise Solution (Lua 5.3+)
