在Python中使用base64模块处理字符编码的教程
Base64是一种用64个字符来表示任意二进制数据的方法。
用记事本打开exe、jpg、pdf这些文件时,我们都会看到一大堆乱码,因为二进制文件包含很多无法显示和打印的字符,所以,如果要让记事本这样的文本处理软件能处理二进制数据,就需要一个二进制到字符串的转换方法。Base64是一种最常见的二进制编码方法。
Base64的原理很简单,首先,准备一个包含64个字符的数组:
1 |
|
然后,对二进制数据进行处理,每3个字节一组,一共是3x8=24bit,划为4组,每组正好6个bit:
这样我们得到4个数字作为索引,然后查表,获得相应的4个字符,就是编码后的字符串。
所以,Base64编码会把3字节的二进制数据编码为4字节的文本数据,长度增加33%,好处是编码后的文本数据可以在邮件正文、网页等直接显示。
如果要编码的二进制数据不是3的倍数,最后会剩下1个或2个字节怎么办?Base64用\x00字节在末尾补足后,再在编码的末尾加上1个或2个=号,表示补了多少字节,解码的时候,会自动去掉。
Python内置的base64可以直接进行base64的编解码:
1 2 3 4 5 |
|
由于标准的Base64编码后可能出现字符+和/,在URL中就不能直接作为参数,所以又有一种"url safe"的base64编码,其实就是把字符+和/分别变成-和_:
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
|
还可以自己定义64个字符的排列顺序,这样就可以自定义Base64编码,不过,通常情况下完全没有必要。
Base64是一种通过查表的编码方法,不能用于加密,即使使用自定义的编码表也不行。
Base64适用于小段内容的编码,比如数字证书签名、Cookie的内容等。
由于=字符也可能出现在Base64编码中,但=用在URL、Cookie里面会造成歧义,所以,很多Base64编码后会把=去掉:
1 2 3 4 |
|
去掉=后怎么解码呢?因为Base64是把3个字节变为4个字节,所以,Base64编码的长度永远是4的倍数,因此,需要加上=把Base64字符串的长度变为4的倍数,就可以正常解码了。
请写一个能处理去掉=的base64解码函数:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
|
小结
Base64是一种任意二进制到文本字符串的编码方法,常用于在URL、Cookie、网页中传输少量二进制数据。

PHP is mainly procedural programming, but also supports object-oriented programming (OOP); Python supports a variety of paradigms, including OOP, functional and procedural programming. PHP is suitable for web development, and Python is suitable for a variety of applications such as data analysis and machine learning.

PHP is suitable for web development and rapid prototyping, and Python is suitable for data science and machine learning. 1.PHP is used for dynamic web development, with simple syntax and suitable for rapid development. 2. Python has concise syntax, is suitable for multiple fields, and has a strong library ecosystem.

VS Code can run on Windows 8, but the experience may not be great. First make sure the system has been updated to the latest patch, then download the VS Code installation package that matches the system architecture and install it as prompted. After installation, be aware that some extensions may be incompatible with Windows 8 and need to look for alternative extensions or use newer Windows systems in a virtual machine. Install the necessary extensions to check whether they work properly. Although VS Code is feasible on Windows 8, it is recommended to upgrade to a newer Windows system for a better development experience and security.

VS Code extensions pose malicious risks, such as hiding malicious code, exploiting vulnerabilities, and masturbating as legitimate extensions. Methods to identify malicious extensions include: checking publishers, reading comments, checking code, and installing with caution. Security measures also include: security awareness, good habits, regular updates and antivirus software.

VS Code can be used to write Python and provides many features that make it an ideal tool for developing Python applications. It allows users to: install Python extensions to get functions such as code completion, syntax highlighting, and debugging. Use the debugger to track code step by step, find and fix errors. Integrate Git for version control. Use code formatting tools to maintain code consistency. Use the Linting tool to spot potential problems ahead of time.

In VS Code, you can run the program in the terminal through the following steps: Prepare the code and open the integrated terminal to ensure that the code directory is consistent with the terminal working directory. Select the run command according to the programming language (such as Python's python your_file_name.py) to check whether it runs successfully and resolve errors. Use the debugger to improve debugging efficiency.

VS Code is available on Mac. It has powerful extensions, Git integration, terminal and debugger, and also offers a wealth of setup options. However, for particularly large projects or highly professional development, VS Code may have performance or functional limitations.

Python is more suitable for beginners, with a smooth learning curve and concise syntax; JavaScript is suitable for front-end development, with a steep learning curve and flexible syntax. 1. Python syntax is intuitive and suitable for data science and back-end development. 2. JavaScript is flexible and widely used in front-end and server-side programming.
