### 4.8 data

The `data` scheme, defined in RFC 2397, contains MIME data in the URL itself. Such URLs have the form

    data:[media-type][;base64],data

media-type is a MIME ‘`Content-Type`’ string, possibly including parameters. It defaults to ‘`text/plain;charset=US-ASCII`’. The ‘`text/plain`’ can be omitted but the charset parameter supplied. If ‘`;base64`’ is present, the data are base64-encoded.
