woswos / encode_decode_dictionary.py
Created November 22, 2020 10:27 — forked from khornberg/encode_decode_dictionary.py
python 3 base64 encode dict
"""
Given a dictionary, transform it to a string. Then byte encode that string. Then base64 encode it and since this will go
on a url, use the urlsafe version. Then decode the byte string so that it can be else where.
"""
data = base64.urlsafe_b64encode(json.dumps({'a': 123}).encode()).decode()
# And the decode is just as simple...
data = json.loads(base64.urlsafe_b64decode(query_param.encode()).decode())
# Byte encode the string, base64 decode that, then byte decode, finally transform it to a dictionary
