/**
* Encodes binary data to plain text as Base64.
*
* <p>Despite there being a gazillion other Base64 implementations out there, this has been written as part of XStream as
* it forms a core part but is too trivial to warrant an extra dependency.</p>
*
* <p>This meets the standard as described in RFC 1521, section 5.2 <http://www.freesoft.org/CIE/RFC/1521/7.htm>, allowing
* other Base64 tools to manipulate the data.</p>

// Here's how encoding works:
//
// 1) Incoming bytes are broken up into groups of 3 (each byte having 8 bits).
//
// 2) The combined 24 bits (3 * 8) are split into 4 groups of 6 bits.
//
// input |------||------||------| (3 values each with 8 bits)
// 101010101010101010101010
// output |----||----||----||----| (4 values each with 6 bits)
//
// 3) Each of these 4 groups of 6 bits are converted back to a number, which will fall in the range of 0 - 63.
//
// 4) Each of these 4 numbers are converted to an alphanumeric char in a specified mapping table, to create
// a 4 character string.
//
// 5) This is repeated for all groups of three bytes.
//
// 6) Special padding is done at the end of the stream using the '=' char.
