Как я могу кодировать строку в Base64 в Swift?

Swift 3

import UIKit

extension String {

    func fromBase64() -> String? {
        guard let data = Data(base64Encoded: self) else {
            return nil
        }

        return String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)
    }

    func toBase64() -> String {
        return Data(self.utf8).base64EncodedString()
    }
}

Swift 2.3

import UIKit

extension String {

    func fromBase64() -> String? {
        guard let data = NSData(base64EncodedString: self, options: NSDataBase64DecodingOptions(rawValue: 0)) else {
            return nil
        }

        return String(data: data, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
    }

    func toBase64() -> String? {
        guard let data = self.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding) else {
            return nil
        }

        return data.base64EncodedStringWithOptions(NSDataBase64EncodingOptions(rawValue: 0))
    }
}

вы могли бы просто сделать простое расширение, как:

import UIKit

// MARK: - Mixed string utils and helpers
extension String {


    /**
    Encode a String to Base64

    :returns: 
    */
    func toBase64()->String{

        let data = self.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)

        return data!.base64EncodedStringWithOptions(NSDataBase64EncodingOptions(rawValue: 0))

    }

}

iOS 7 и выше

Swift 4.0.3

import UIKit

extension String {

func fromBase64() -> String? {
    guard let data = Data(base64Encoded: self, options: Data.Base64DecodingOptions(rawValue: 0)) else {
        return nil
    }

    return String(data: data as Data, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8)
}

func toBase64() -> String? {
    guard let data = self.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8) else {
        return nil
    }

    return data.base64EncodedString(options: Data.Base64EncodingOptions(rawValue: 0))
    }
}

после тщательного исследования я нашел решение

кодирование

    let plainData = (plainString as NSString).dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)
    let base64String =plainData.base64EncodedStringWithOptions(NSDataBase64EncodingOptions.fromRaw(0)!)
    println(base64String) // bXkgcGxhbmkgdGV4dA==

декодирования

    let decodedData = NSData(base64EncodedString: base64String, options:NSDataBase64DecodingOptions.fromRaw(0)!)
    let decodedString = NSString(data: decodedData, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)    
    println(decodedString) // my plain data

подробнее об этом http://creativecoefficient.net/swift/encoding-and-decoding-base64/

Xcode 8.3.2 * Swift 3.1

extension String {
    var data:          Data  { return Data(utf8) }
    var base64Encoded: Data  { return data.base64EncodedData() }
    var base64Decoded: Data? { return Data(base64Encoded: self) }
}

extension Data {
    var string: String? { return String(data: self, encoding: .utf8) }
}

---

let original = "iOS Developer Tips encoded in Base64"

let utf8Data = original.data                             // 36 bytes
let base64EncodedString = utf8Data.base64EncodedString() //  aU9TIERldmVsb3BlciBUaXBzIGVuY29kZWQgaW4gQmFzZTY0\n"
let base64EncodedData = utf8Data.base64EncodedData()     //  48 bytes"

print("base64EncodedData:", original.base64Encoded)      //  48 bytes
print("base64EncodedString:", original.base64Encoded.string ?? "") // "aU9TIERldmVsb3BlciBUaXBzIGVuY29kZWQgaW4gQmFzZTY0"
print("base64DecodedData:", original.base64Encoded.string?.base64Decoded  ?? "") // 36 bytes
print("base64DecodedString:", original.base64Encoded.string?.base64Decoded?.string ?? "") // iOS Developer Tips encoded in Base64

Swift 3

вот простой String расширение обновлено для Swift 3, что позволяет сохранять опциональность в случае ошибки при декодировании.

extension String {
    /// Encode a String to Base64
    func toBase64() -> String {
        return Data(self.utf8).base64EncodedString()
    }

    /// Decode a String from Base64. Returns nil if unsuccessful.
    func fromBase64() -> String? {
        guard let data = Data(base64Encoded: self) else { return nil }
        return String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)
    }
}

пример:

let testString = "A test string."

let encoded = testString.toBase64() // "QSB0ZXN0IHN0cmluZy4="

guard let decoded = encoded.fromBase64() // "A test string."
    else { return } 

Swift 3 или 4

let base64Encoded = Data("original string".utf8).base64EncodedString()

после всей борьбы мне это понравилось.

func conversion(str:NSString)
{

    if let decodedData = NSData(base64EncodedString: str as String, options:NSDataBase64DecodingOptions(rawValue: 0)),
        let decodedString = NSString(data: decodedData, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding) {

        print(decodedString)//Here we are getting decoded string

после того, как я вызываю другую функцию для преобразования декодированной строки в словарь

        self .convertStringToDictionary(decodedString as String)
    }


}//function close

//для строки в словарь

func convertStringToDictionary(text: String) -> [String:AnyObject]? {
    if let data = text.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding) {
        do {
            let json = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: []) as? [String:AnyObject]

            print(json)
            if let stack = json!["cid"]  //getting key value here
            {
                customerID = stack as! String
                print(customerID)
            }

        } catch let error as NSError {
            print(error)
        }
    }
    return nil
}

ДЛЯ SWIFT 3.0

let str = "iOS Developer Tips encoded in Base64"
print("Original: \(str)")

let utf8str = str.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8)

if let base64Encoded = utf8str?.base64EncodedString(options: NSData.Base64EncodingOptions(rawValue: 0))
{

  print("Encoded:  \(base64Encoded)")

  if let base64Decoded = NSData(base64Encoded: base64Encoded, options:   NSData.Base64DecodingOptions(rawValue: 0))
    .map({ NSString(data:  as Data, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8.rawValue) })
  {
    // Convert back to a string
    print("Decoded:  \(base64Decoded)!")
  }
}

SwiftyBase64 (полное раскрытие: я написал это) - это родная кодировка Swift Base64 (без библиотеки декодирования. С его помощью вы можете кодировать стандартный Base64:

let bytesToEncode : [UInt8] = [1,2,3]
let base64EncodedString = SwiftyBase64.EncodeString(bytesToEncode)

или URL и имя файла Safe Base64:

let bytesToEncode : [UInt8] = [1,2,3]
let base64EncodedString = SwiftyBase64.EncodeString(bytesToEncode, alphabet:.URLAndFilenameSafe)

@Airspeed Velocity ответ в Swift 2.0:

let str = "iOS Developer Tips encoded in Base64"
print("Original: \(str)")
let base64Encoded = str.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)!.base64EncodedStringWithOptions([])
print("Encoded: \(base64Encoded)")
let base64DecodedData = NSData(base64EncodedString: base64Encoded, options: [])!
var base64DecodedString = String(data: base64DecodedData, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)!
print("Decoded: \(base64DecodedString)")
