Decode a Base64 URL-Safe Value

A Base64 example for decoding URL-safe values without confusing encoding with encryption.

Worked example

Task context

A callback URL contains an encoded state value. Decode it to inspect the redirect hint, then decide whether the value is safe to include in logs.

Input and output

Input Base64URL

eyJyZWRpcmVjdCI6Ii9kYXNoYm9hcmQiLCJzb3VyY2UiOiJkb2NzLXFyIn0

Decoded text

{"redirect":"/dashboard","source":"docs-qr"}

Checks before copying

  • Base64URL may omit padding; add padding only if the decoder requires it.
  • Treat decoded values as plain text, not protected secrets.
  • Check whether redirect destinations are expected and safe.

Lesson: Base64 is reversible encoding. It is useful for transport, not for confidentiality.
