Provides Base64Url, Utf8, Index, and Range types support for .NET Framework and .NET Standard.
$ dotnet add package Microsoft.Bcl.MemoryProvides Index and Range types to simplify slicing operations on collections for .NET Framework and .NET Standard 2.0.
Provides Base64Url for encoding data in a URL-safe manner on older .NET platforms.
Provides Utf8 for converting chunked data between UTF-8 and UTF-16 encodings on .NET Framework and .NET Standard 2.0.
This library is not necessary nor recommended when targeting versions of .NET that include the relevant support.
Index and Range types on .NET Framework and .NET Standard 2.0.Base64Url encoding, decoding, and validation for URL-safe data processing on older .NET platforms.Utf8 encoding, decoding, and validation for chunked data between UTF-8 and UTF-16 on .NET Framework and .NET Standard 2.0.The Index and Range types simplify working with slices of arrays, strings, or other collections.
string[] words = ["The", "quick", "brown", "fox", "jumps", "over", "the", "lazy", "dog"];
// Use Index to reference the last element
Console.WriteLine(words[^1]);
// Output: "dog"
// Use Range to reference a slice
string[] phrase = words[1..4];
Console.WriteLine(string.Join(" ", phrase));
// Output: "quick brown fox"
Base64Url encoding is a URL-safe version of Base64, commonly used in web applications, such as JWT tokens.
using System.Buffers.Text;
using System.Text;
// Original data
byte[] data = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("Hello World!");
Span<byte> encoded = new byte[Base64Url.GetEncodedLength(data.Length)];
Base64Url.EncodeToUtf8(data, encoded, out int _, out int bytesWritten);
string encodedString = Base64Url.EncodeToString(data);
Console.WriteLine($"Encoded: {encodedString}");
// Encoded: SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh
Span<byte> decoded = new byte[data.Length];
Base64Url.DecodeFromUtf8(encoded[..bytesWritten], decoded, out _, out bytesWritten);
string decodedString = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(decoded[..bytesWritten]);
Console.WriteLine($"Decoded: {decodedString}");
// Decoded: Hello World!
