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];
