Overview

base64Binary represents Base64-encoded arbitrary binary data. The ·value space· of base64Binary is the set of finite-length sequences of binary octets. For base64Binary data the entire binary stream is encoded using the Base64 Alphabet in [RFC 2045].

Constructor Details

- (Base64Binary) initialize(value, options = {})

A new instance of Base64Binary

Parameters:

  • value (String, Object) —

    If given a string, it will decode it as an object value. Otherwise, it will take the value as the object and encode to retrieve a value

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    a customizable set of options

Options Hash (options):

  • :lexical (String) — default: nil

end

- (Boolean) valid?

Returns true if the value adheres to the defined grammar of the datatype.

Note: depends on implementation of Base64.strict_decode64, which may not be implemented for Ruby 1.8.x.

Returns:
