Examples

Example 1: Encode a text to base 32 format

The following script encodes the text - john@zylker.com to a Base32 format using the UTF-8 character set.

response = zoho.encryption.base32Encode("john@zylker.com");
// Returns NJXWQ3SAPJ4WY23FOIXGG33N

"john@zylker.com"
The TEXT that represents the data that needs to be encoded

Example 2: Encode a file to base 32 format

The following script invokes a file from the web and encodes it to base 32 format using the UTF-16LE character set.

// Fetch a file from the web
sample_file=invokeUrl
[
url:"https://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tests/xhtml/testfiles/resources/pdf/dummy.pdf"
type:GET
];
// Encode the file content in UTF-16LE character set
response=zoho.encryption.base32Encode(sample_file,"UTF-16LE");

where:

response
The TEXT response representing the Base32 encoded output
sample_file
The FILE that holds the pdf file fetched from the web that needs to be encoded
"UTF-16LE"
