Comment 1:

do you want to contribute examples for encoding/base64?
examples are (almost) always welcome.

Labels changed: added priority-later, go1.1, removed priority-triage.

Status changed to Accepted.

Comment 2 by joaopintojeronimo:

I would love to contribute but I didn't understand very well how to use that package. I
think two very important examples would be encoding and decoding a string, since people
who come from other programming languages are very to that. The simple encoding of a
string would be:
// Encoding
data := "a string to be encoded"
enc := base64.StdEncoding
encLength := enc.EncodedLen(len(data))
dst := make([]byte, encLength)
enc.Encode(dst, []byte(uniqueID))
encodedData := string(dst)
And I still don't know how to decode it (to be fair, have not tried it, if I have the
time I'll look at the docs again and post it here)

Comment 3:

Here is an example: http://play.golang.org/p/Expz7K_Ehw

Comment 4:

That example annoyingly leaves a trailing 0x0 that needs to be stripped. Maybe this is
not so easy after all. :)
