About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "ZG9jdW1lbnRlZA==" is padding. Base64 encoding requires the input length to be divisible by 4. When it's not, '=' characters are added as padding. These padding characters are represented as '000000' in binary but are not used in the final decoded output.

Step 1: Map Base64 Characters to Binary

Base64 Character	Binary Value	Decimal Value
Z	011001	25
G	000110	6
9	111101	61
j	100011	35
d	011101	29
W	010110	22
1	110101	53
l	100101	37
b	011011	27
n	100111	39
R	010001	17
l	100101	37
Z	011001	25
A	000000	0
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

The binary string is grouped into 8-bit chunks (1 byte each):

01100100 01101111 01100011 01110101 01101101 01100101 01101110 01110100 01100101 01100100 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100100	d
01101111	o
01100011	c
01110101	u
01101101	m
01100101	e
01101110	n
01110100	t
01100101	e
01100100	d
0000

When combined, these characters form the decoded string: "documented"
