Encoder:

An Encoder step allows you to convert any binary data into text data. You need an encoder when you
have binary data in your pipeline that needs to be stored or transferred over a medium that only works
with textual data.

Sample Binary data:

C|MÖ\›>£GÑ®š…Q¨.×Ã>2ÿI/H\ å$Ú<|nÝåßÃŽÿ¶

This is done to ensure that the data is unmodified when it passes such media.
The Encoder treats the binary data numerically and translates it into text.

The Encoder process step in Cloud Platform Integration uses a Base64 encoding scheme for this
purpose.

Choose Encoder from Transformations:

Encoding scheme: Base64 Encode

Decoder:
Likewise, you shall use a decoder to reverse the effects of an Encoder. Suppose you received an encoded
message from a system because the message could only be transmitted in textual format. Before you
start processing the input message, decode it to get the binary data and then proceed with the
processing.

Sample textual version of Binary data:
