Base64 Additions for Objective-C on Mac OS X and iOS
=======


Usage
----
Open the Xcode project file, and drag MF_Base64Additions.m/.h into your project.

In files where you want to use Base64 encoding/decoding, simply include the header file and use one of the provided NSData or NSString additions.
    
Example use:
    #import "MF_Base64Additions.h"
    
    NSString *helloWorld = @"Hello World";
    NSString *helloInBase64 = [helloWorld base64String];
    NSString *helloDecoded = [NSString stringFromBase64String:helloInBase64];




Performance
----
* Encoding: Approximately 4 to 5 times faster than using the equivalent SecTransform.
* Encoding: 30% faster than https://github.com/l4u/NSData-Base64
* Decoding: 5% faster than using the equivalent SecTransform.
* Decoding: 5% faster than https://github.com/l4u/NSData-Base64
