// For example, let's say we want construct simple JSON containing the base64 representation of the above JPG file.
sb := TChilkatStringBuilder.Create(Self);
sb.Append('{ "jpg": "');
// GetEncodedSb appends the enocded representation of the binary data to the StringBuiler passed in the 2nd arg.
bd.GetEncodedSb('base64',sb.ControlInterface);
sb.Append('" }');

Memo1.Lines.Add(sb.GetAsString());

// Output looks like this:
//  { "jpg": "/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAg...rcQ+vo//2Q==" }
