Binary.mime()	Access the mime-type against the Binary object.
Binary.set()	Store the contents of a string in a binary object.
Binary.fromObj()	Store the contents of a JavaScript object.
Binary.toObj()	Create a JavaScript object from the contents of a binary object.
Binary.toBase64()	BASE64 encode the current contents of the Binary object.
Binary.fromBase64()	BASE64 decode the current contents of the Binary object.
Binary.compress()	zlib "deflate" current contents of the Binary object.
Binary.rawCompress()	zlib "deflate" current contents of the Binary object. Do not use any headers to identify the stream.
Binary.gzCompress()	GZIP the current contents of the Binary object.
Binary.unCompress()	Uncompress a previously compressed binary object. Requires a header.
Binary.rawUnCompress()	Uncompress a previously compressed binary object.
