```go-html-template
|
|
{{ "Hugo" | base64Encode }} → "SHVnbw=="
|
|
{{ "SHVnbw==" | base64Decode }} → "Hugo"
|
|
```

## `base64` with APIs
|
|
|
|
Using base64 to decode and encode becomes really powerful if we have to handle
|
|
responses from APIs.
|
|
|
|
```go-html-template
|
|
{{ $resp := getJSON "https://api.github.com/repos/gohugoio/hugo/readme" }}
|
|
{{ $resp.content | base64Decode | markdownify }}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The response of the GitHub API contains the base64-encoded version of the [README.md](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/blob/master/README.md) in the Hugo repository. Now we can decode it and parse the Markdown. The final output will look similar to the rendered version on GitHub.
