binary_data:binary	binary_data	binary	Binary data	SQLite tables can contain binary data in BLOB columns. Datasette includes special handling for these binary values. The Datasette interface detects binary values and provides a link to download their content, for example on https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures/binary_data Binary data is represented in .json exports using Base64 encoding. https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures/binary_data.json?_shape=array [ { "rowid": 1, "data": { "$base64": true, "encoded": "FRwCx60F/g==" } }, { "rowid": 2, "data": { "$base64": true, "encoded": "FRwDx60F/g==" } }, { "rowid": 3, "data": null } ]	[]	[{"href": "https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures/binary_data", "label": "https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures/binary_data"}, {"href": "https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures/binary_data.json?_shape=array", "label": "https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures/binary_data.json?_shape=array"}]
binary_data:binary-linking	binary_data	binary-linking	Linking to binary downloads	The .blob output format is used to return binary data. It requires a _blob_column= query string argument specifying which BLOB column should be downloaded, for example: https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures/binary_data/1.blob?_blob_column=data This output format can also be used to return binary data from an arbitrary SQL query. Since such queries do not specify an exact row, an additional ?_blob_hash= parameter can be used to specify the SHA-256 hash of the value that is being linked to. Consider the query select data from binary_data - demonstrated here . That page links to the binary value downloads. Those links look like this: https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures.blob?sql=select+data+from+binary_data&_blob_column=data&_blob_hash=f3088978da8f9aea479ffc7f631370b968d2e855eeb172bea7f6c7a04262bb6d These .blob links are also returned in the .csv exports Datasette provides for binary tables and queries, since the CSV format does not have a mechanism for representing binary data.

binary_data:binary-plugins	binary_data	binary-plugins	Binary plugins	Several Datasette plugins are available that change the way Datasette treats binary data. datasette-render-binary modifies Datasette's default interface to show an automatic guess at what type of binary data is being stored, along with a visual representation of the binary value that displays ASCII strings directly in the interface. datasette-render-images detects common image formats and renders them as images directly in the Datasette interface. datasette-media allows Datasette interfaces to be configured to serve binary files from configured SQL queries, and includes the ability to resize images directly before serving them.
