# `base64decode` Function
|
|
|
|
`base64decode` takes a string containing a Base64 character sequence and
|
|
returns the original string.
|
|
|
|
Nomad uses the "standard" Base64 alphabet as defined in
|
|
[RFC 4648 section 4](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4648#section-4).
|
|
|
|
Strings in the Nomad language are sequences of unicode characters rather
|
|
than bytes, so this function will also interpret the resulting bytes as
|
|
UTF-8. If the bytes after Base64 decoding are _not_ valid UTF-8, this function
|
|
produces an error.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
> base64decode("SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ=")
|
|
Hello World
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

- [`base64encode`](/docs/job-specification/hcl2/functions/encoding/base64encode) performs the opposite operation,
|
|
encoding the UTF-8 bytes for a string as Base64.
