category: Collections-Streams
superclass: MimeConverter
subclasses:
This class encodes and decodes data in Base64 format. This is MIME encoding. We translate a whole stream at once, taking a Stream as input and giving one as output. Returns a whole stream for the caller to use.

Outbound: bytes are broken into 6 bit chunks, and the 0-63 value is converted to a character. 3 data bytes go into 4 characters.
Inbound: Characters are translated in to 0-63 values and shifted into 8 bit bytes.
