Note: This is a method method on WbString and so is invoked as WbString.toBase64(str);

Example

base-64 encoding are generally used to encode non-printable binary data into a plain-text format that can be safely delivered over SMTP. This method takes a string and returns a new base-64 encoded version of that string.

Note: if you want to encode a binary object, such as an image, then use Binary.toBase64() method on the source binary object instead.

The method returns a new WbString instance that to all intents and purposes can be treated as a standard Javascript string object.
