Why was base64 chosen instead of opening from filepath?

Hi, I'm new to openCV and java so just trying to understand react bridge a bit more, I noticed that you commented out:

Bitmap image = decodeSampledBitmapFromFile(imageurl, 2000, 2000);

And replaced it with the base64 from the react native camera. Is there a reason why base64 was used across the bridge instead of just sending the path name through the bridge? Is this faster? If I was going to send an image back to react native - do you suggest sending base64 back or how?

Hey, man!

You're right. Sending a path is much better. This is what we eventually did. Base64 was our very first solution.
