A flexible Go package for generating and verifying captchas as base64-encoded image or audio strings.
Base64Captcha is a Go package for generating and verifying captcha challenges, outputting them as base64-encoded image or audio strings. It solves the problem of integrating captcha protection into web applications by providing a flexible, extensible library with support for multiple captcha types and custom storage backends.
Go developers building web applications that require bot protection, such as login forms, registration pages, or API endpoints.
Developers choose Base64Captcha for its simplicity, extensibility, and built-in support for various captcha types and Unicode characters, allowing easy integration without external dependencies.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Includes built-in drivers for digit, string, math, and Chinese captchas, allowing diverse challenge options without extra dependencies, as detailed in the driver implementations.
Can generate captchas using any Unicode characters, such as Arabic or Japanese, making it adaptable for international applications, as highlighted in the README's customization section.
Provides a simple Store interface to implement custom backends like etcd, enabling integration with distributed systems, as shown in the example with etcd.
Outputs captchas as base64-encoded strings for direct use in HTML or APIs, simplifying frontend integration without file handling, evidenced in the Generate method.
The default memory store is not suitable for production-scale applications, requiring developers to implement and maintain custom storage solutions for distributed environments.
To leverage advanced features like custom drivers, developers must implement interfaces from scratch, adding development time compared to more opinionated libraries.
Documentation is split between English and Chinese with informal sections, which can lead to confusion or gaps in understanding for some users, as noted in the README structure.
