# Description
Closes#7514.
* For both `encode` and `decode`: add a special case allowing `utf16` as
a valid alias for `utf-16` (just as `utf-8` has `utf8`).
* For `encode` , make it an error when encodings_rs replaces characters
outside the given encoding with HTML entities
* For `encode` , add `-i`/`--ignore-errors` flag to bring back this
behaviour.
Note: `--ignore-errors` does NOT ignore the error for using a wrong
encoding label like `uft8`
# User-Facing Changes
See above.
# Tests + Formatting
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.
Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A
clippy::needless_collect` to check that you're using the standard code
style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass
# After Submitting
If your PR had any user-facing changes, update [the
documentation](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io) after the
PR is merged, if necessary. This will help us keep the docs up to date.

* feat: deprecate `hash base64` command
* feat: extend `decode` and `encode` command families
This commit
- Adds `encode` command family
- Backports `hash base64` features to `encode base64` and `decode base64` subcommands.
- Refactors code a bit and extends tests for encodings
- `decode base64` returns a binary `Value` (that may be decoded into a string using `decode` command)
* feat: add `--binary(-b)` flag to `decode base64`
Default output type is now string, but binary can be requested using this new flag.
