BinaryEncoder

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.
