# Why another MIME Base64 module

This pure Perl 6 module is slower but, I believe, more correct in a number of ways. The existing MIME::Base64 depends on the parrot implementation of the same library which currently has some issues including #826, #814 and #813 on git. The correctness advantages of this module include:

* Designed to encode/decode binary data with easy wrapper functions for strings.
* Many more tests than the parrot dependent module. Technically not as many individual tests as the parrot library but that's just because the parrot library tests every individual byte value from 0 to 255 which may not be that useful given how base64 combines bits from adjacent bytes. I believe that my test suite is actually better than that of the parrot library too.
