In the last few days I was investigating the performance of hex and especially base64 and base64url
Added benchmarks nodejs/node#50348
base64 encoding is using the functionality from the base64 dependency.
base64 decoding is not using the functionality from the base64 dependency. We have a custom implementation, which handles the base64 decoding gracefully. So a whitespace does not result in an error but gets ignored.
base64url encoding is a custom implementation. So it is slower than it could be.
base64url decoding is a custom implementation. So it is slower than it could be.
hex encoding is a custom implementation. So it is slower than it could be.
hex decoding is a custom implementation. So it is slower than it could be.
Maybe this is something to be implemented in simdutf?
