Base64 Encode

Valve for Base 64 encoding properties

Introduction

This valve encodes item properties using base 64. The encoded value can replace the source value or replace/create a new named property.

Note that items only support string properties, meaning that this valve will base 64 encode the binary value of a (string) property. A real binary value (like a PDF document or an image) must be base 64 encoded before added to an item.

This valve is a part of the item iteration API meaning that it operates on the current item set. For more information on item iteration, see Item.

Configuration

Valve name: Base64Encode

Properties

Name	Description	Default value	Mandatory	Expanded
