I don't have any sample code yet. Following our recommendations, I'm only determining interest. My questions are: * Do you think a library like this could be useful to the C++ community?
Yes. Base-64 encoding is a problem that comes up occasionally, and while it's fairly easy to write one's one implementation, having a well-designed and well-tested implementation available would save some time and effort.
* If the answer to the above is yes, do you think it could belong to Boost, or would be better as a standalone library?
As a part of Boost, I would probably use it. As a standalone library, I probably wouldn't bother. Each additional standalone library I use is an additional risk, and the task of base-64 coding is not difficult enough to justify that risk. -- Rainer Deyke (rainerd@eldwood.com)
