# Fast base64 support
This package provides a Haskell library for working with base64-encoded
data quickly and efficiently, using the ByteString type.
# Performance
This library is written in pure Haskell, and it's fast:
* 250 MB/sec encoding
* 200 MB/sec strict decoding (per RFC 4648)
* 100 MB/sec lenient decoding
# Get involved!
Please report bugs via the
[bitbucket issue tracker](http://bitbucket.org/bos/base64-bytestring).
