## TextEncoder

Provides APIs to encode strings into byte arrays. It supports multiple formats, including UTF-8, UTF-16LE, and UTF-16BE.

## Base64Helper<sup>9+</sup>

The Base64 encoding table contains 62 characters, which are the uppercase letters (A-Z), lowercase letters (a-z), digits (0-9), and the special characters plus sign (+) and slash (/). During encoding, the original data is divided into groups of three bytes, and each group contains a 6-bit number. Then, the corresponding characters in the Base64 encoding table are used to represent these numbers. If the last group contains only one or two bytes, the equal sign (=) is used for padding.
