Conversion from UTF-8 to Base64URL

Converting UTF-8 to Base64URL involves encoding UTF-8 characters into a Base64URL format, which uses a URL-safe alphabet and omits padding characters. This conversion is commonly used when transmitting data through URLs, as it ensures that the encoded data will not be misinterpreted by web servers or browsers.

For example, if you have a UTF-8 string like "Hello, world!", converting it to Base64URL would result in an encoded string like "SGVsbG8sIHdvcmxkIQ". This encoded data can then be safely included in a URL without causing any issues. Other common use cases for converting UTF-8 to Base64URL include storing binary data in JSON, encoding data in OAuth tokens, and representing binary data in configuration files.
