STD Foundation Classes
Updated BASE64 Example Application released!
Software Tool & Die Inc. today are very pleased to announce an updated Base64 Encoding / Decoding example application for Appeon PowerBuilder that was built from the latest STD Integrated Framework (version 2019.1.0.124 released on 2019-02-06) and the newest Appeon PB2017R3 MR01 release (build 1880) ...
Base64 encoding and decoding is a critical feature
when processing XML and JSON files that contain binary
datum. As well as using PowerBuilder's PBDOM feature, an XML DataWindow
or interacting with Web Services that pass binary data
back and forth (ie: JSON in a RESTFul web service). The received binary
data will be in base64 encoded format - which is unusable
to your PB application unless decoded (converted back) to its original
binary state. Conversely, binary data that your PB application needs to
send to other XML or JSON based applications must be converted
(encoded) into the base64 standard.
STD Frameworks Base64 running as a PowerServer Web application! |
The Base64 Example application utilizes standard Microsoft Base64
API's supplied by the MS-Windows O/S. These API's are now embedded in the
framework's "nc_crypto_master" object class and easily called from your
PowerScript code, as follows:
- lo_crypto.of_base64_stringtobinary ( lblb_image , ls_base64 )
The Base64 Example - along with the STD Integrated Framework is also able be used with PowerServer Web applications. Thus, the Base64 Example application can also be deployed to your favourite Web Browser using PowerServer. The nc_crypto_master has also been ported to the STD Web Service framework so you can now use the Base64 functionality in a PB built web services as well!
You can download the Base64 Example application from the STD Framework's website by clicking here! You can also download either of the free open source STD frameworks for PowerBuilder, PowerServer and Web Services by clicking here!
Enjoy!
Regards ... Chris
