Methods

Member	Signature	Summary
Base64Decode	EncodingService:Base64Decode(input: buffer): buffer	Decodes a Base64-encoded buffer into a new buffer containing the original binary data.
Base64Encode	EncodingService:Base64Encode(input: buffer): buffer	Encodes binary data from a buffer into Base64 format, returning the result as a new buffer.
CompressBuffer	EncodingService:CompressBuffer(input: buffer, algorithm: CompressionAlgorithm, compressionLevel: int = 1): buffer	Compresses binary buffer data using the specified algorithm and compression level.
ComputeBufferHash	EncodingService:ComputeBufferHash(input: buffer, algorithm: HashAlgorithm): buffer	Computes a cryptographic hash of a buffer's binary data using the specified algorithm.
ComputeStringHash	EncodingService:ComputeStringHash(input: string, algorithm: HashAlgorithm): string	Computes a cryptographic hash of a string using the specified algorithm.
DecompressBuffer	EncodingService:DecompressBuffer(input: buffer, algorithm: CompressionAlgorithm): buffer	Decompresses binary buffer data that was compressed with the specified algorithm.
GetDecompressedBufferSize	EncodingService:GetDecompressedBufferSize(input: buffer, algorithm: CompressionAlgorithm): int?	Returns the expected decompressed size of a compressed buffer, or nil if the size is unknown or invalid.
