When to encode YAML as Base64

Base64 is useful when YAML text needs to travel through systems that expect one-line text values, such as environment variables, fixtures, JSON strings, or encoded configuration fields.

When validation is enabled, this tool checks the text with a YAML 1.2 core-schema parser before encoding and after decoding.

UTF-8 safe

Uses TextEncoder and fatal UTF-8 decoding instead of legacy escape or unescape helpers.

Round trip

Switch modes to decode Base64 text back into UTF-8 text and optionally validate it against the YAML 1.2 core schema.

Validation

Use the built-in YAML 1.2 core-schema parser to validate text before encoding or after decoding.
