Base64 converter

1. Overview

Base64 is a group of similar binary-to-text encoding schemes that represent binary data in an ASCII string format by translating it into a radix-64 representation. The term Base64 originates from a specific MIME content transfer encoding.

Each base64 digit represents exactly 6 bits of data.

The Base64 converter can convert Base64 to bytes and vice versa.

In the table below, you will find an explanation of these properties.

All attributes with a '*' are mandatory.

Attribute	Description
Name*	By default, we fill this out with the technical tag, followed by a serial number. Changing the name is optional.
Enabled	Set this value to true, if you want this service to be enabled.
Encode	Enables encoding of bytes into Base64. Defaults to true . When set to false it will decode inbound Base64 into bytes. With other words, when encode is true you receive a decoded message and you will send out an encoded message. When you set this value to false , it will receive an encoded message and you will send out an decoded message.
Output Type*	Output type for this service. Defaults to TEXT for Strings. Use XML for Documents and BYTES for bytes.
Source Type	Source type for this service. Defaults to CONTENT for payload, XPATH to perform XPATH expression before decode and HEADER to decode from header. Only available if Encode is FALSE
Source Header Value	Source value when Source Type is set to HEADER. This expression must resolve to a node’s text.
Source XPath Value	Source value when Source Type is set to XPATH
Target Type	Target type for this service. Defaults to CONTENT for payload, XPATH to perform XPATH expression before decode and HEADER to encode to the header. Only available if Encode is TRUE
Target Header Value	Target value when Target Type is set to HEADER
Target XPath Value	Target value when Target Type is set to XPATH. This expression must resolve to a node.
MessagePart In	Name of the MessagePart in a ConnectMessage where the content of the file is being stored.
MessagePart Out	Name of the MessagePart in a ConnectMessage where the content of the file is being stored.

Description

Name*

By default, we fill this out with the technical tag, followed by a serial number. Changing the name is optional.

Enabled

Set this value to true, if you want this service to be enabled.

Encode

Enables encoding of bytes into Base64. Defaults to true . When set to false it will decode inbound Base64 into bytes. With other words, when encode is true you receive a decoded message and you will send out an encoded message. When you set this value to false , it will receive an encoded message and you will send out an decoded message.

Output Type*

Output type for this service. Defaults to TEXT for Strings. Use XML for Documents and BYTES for bytes.

Source Type

Source type for this service. Defaults to CONTENT for payload, XPATH to perform XPATH expression before decode and HEADER to decode from header.

Only available if Encode is FALSE

Source Header Value

Source value when Source Type is set to HEADER. This expression must resolve to a node’s text.

Source XPath Value

Source value when Source Type is set to XPATH

Target Type

Target type for this service. Defaults to CONTENT for payload, XPATH to perform XPATH expression before decode and HEADER to encode to the header.

Only available if Encode is TRUE

Target Header Value

Target value when Target Type is set to HEADER

Target XPath Value

Target value when Target Type is set to XPATH. This expression must resolve to a node.

MessagePart In

Name of the MessagePart in a ConnectMessage where the content of the file is being stored.

MessagePart Out

Name of the MessagePart in a ConnectMessage where the content of the file is being stored.
