What?

The data URI scheme is a URI scheme that provides a way to include data in-line in web pages as if they were external resources.

A data URI can be used in a img-tag like this:

html code showing data-uri

But also in a stylesheet like this.

css code showing data-uri

Before you can use an image for this, you need to encode it into this data URI scheme. That's what daturi is for!
