Converts binary data to ASCII strings using Base64 or HEX encoding methods. The transformer can convert attributes that contain any type of data. This is useful when a binary file, such as an image, must be included in a text file.
Unlike the TextEncoder transformer, this transformer will not change the character encoding of text attributes. The TextEncoder converts all attribute values to UTF-8 before they are encoded. This transformer simply encodes the attribute using its existing character set.
Identifies the method the transformer will use to encode the attribute: HEX (default) or Base64.
The value of this attribute will be encoded using the selected method.
This attribute will store the encoded data.
