Description

This is a constructor function that takes an item value as argument and returns a value of type xs:base64Binary. If the argument is a literal, then the literal must be a valid lexical form of its type.

As specified in the respective section of the W3C recommendation XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes, a value of type xs:base64Binary represents Base64-encoded binary data. If the string argument contains characters outside the Base 64 alphabet, a type exception is raised. See section 6.8 of RFC 2045 for information about the allowed characters.
