My server devs ask me to send them some data encoded with base64 with this rules:
1. big-endian byte order
2. no extra zero bytes
3. base64 string
for example:
10005000 → «mKol»
1234567890 → «SZYC0g»
I did some spaghetti code, and it's work. But maybe somebody have more elegant solution?
+ (NSString*)encodeBigEndianBase64:(uint32_t)value {
char *bytes = (char*) &value;
int len = sizeof(uint32_t);
char *reverseBytes = malloc(sizeof(char) * len);
unsigned long index = len - 1;
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
reverseBytes[index--] = bytes[i];
int offset = 0;
while (reverseBytes[offset] == 0) {
offset++;
}
NSData *resultData;
if (offset > 0) {
int truncatedLen = (len - offset);
char *truncateBytes = malloc(sizeof(char) * truncatedLen);
for (int i = 0; i < truncatedLen ; i++)
truncateBytes[i] = reverseBytes[i + offset];
resultData = [NSData dataWithBytes:truncateBytes length:truncatedLen];
free(truncateBytes);
} else {
resultData = [NSData dataWithBytes:reverseBytes length:len];
}
free(reverseBytes);
return [[resultData base64EncodedStringWithOptions:NSDataBase64Encoding64CharacterLineLength] stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"=" withString:@""];
}
