About:
aklomp-base64 is a high-performance Base64 stream encoder and decoder written in C99. It leverages SIMD instructions (SSE4.1/AVX/AVX2/NEON) to achieve maximum throughput on modern CPUs. The library is designed for integration into applications requiring fast binary-to-text encoding, such as network protocols and file processing.
Key Features:
  • SIMD acceleration for high throughput
  • C99 compliant library with no dependencies
  • Streaming API for handling large data
  • Supports both standard and URL-safe alphabets
Use Cases:
  • Encoding binary data for transmission over text-based protocols
  • High-speed log processing and data transformation
  • Embedding fast Base64 support in C/C++ applications
Alternatives:
  • openssl base64 – OpenSSL is a full cryptographic library; aklomp-base64 is a focused, standalone, and often faster for pure Base64 operations.
