* `'base64'` - Base64 string encoding.

* `'binary'` - A way of encoding raw binary data into strings by using only
the first 8 bits of each character. This encoding method is deprecated and
should be avoided in favor of `Buffer` objects where possible. This encoding
will be removed in future versions of Node.js.
* `'binary'` - A way of encoding the buffer into a one-byte (i.e. `latin-1`)
encoded string. The string `'latin-1'` is not supported. Instead simply pass
`'binary'` to use `'latin-1'` encoding.

* `'hex'` - Encode each byte as two hexadecimal characters.
