Encoding Vs Encryption
Encoding and Encryption are somewhat similar concept but these are different in purpose.
Encoding means
transforming data to another format with schemes that are publicly
available like base64 encoding scheme.
Later on, anyone can decode to
convert it back to original format.
Purpose of encoding might be compressing to save memory or confirming the transfer of data over a
channel etc.

In case of Encryption, transformation of data to
another format is done with the purpose of security, so that not
everyone can read data except the ones having decryption key/password
etc. Encryption id done using some specific key or password.
