[dart-misc] Sending image through json with Dart

[Mateusz Lewandowski]

Hi, I am looking for method which allows me to send image through json.
When i try to convert File from inputy type=file, the encode json method
does not work on it.
What type it should be for Image to send it to web service through json.
Something like byte array?
Thanks in advance.

JSON does not have a byte array type, and while you could put integers
in an array, the wire format will be terrible. You either implement a
multipart upload[1] or stick with base64-encoded binaries[2]. Unless
you have a Google-scale traffic, I'd stick with base64, even mid-sized
companies are fine with it, especially if the transport layer has some
kind of compression on it.
