Are there any methods in JavaScript that could be used to encode and decode a string using base64 encoding?

    Internet Explorer 10+

    // Define the string
    var string = 'Hello World!';
    
    // Encode the String
    var encodedString = btoa(string);
    console.log(encodedString); // Outputs: "SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh"
    
    // Decode the String
    var decodedString = atob(encodedString);
    console.log(decodedString); // Outputs: "Hello World!"
    

    Cross-Browser

    Re-written and modularized UTF-8 and Base64 Javascript Encoding and Decoding Libraries / Modules for AMD, CommonJS, Nodejs and Browsers. Cross-browser compatible.


    with Node.js

    Here is how you encode normal text to base64 in Node.js:

    //Buffer() requires a number, array or string as the first parameter, and an optional encoding type as the second parameter. 
    // Default is utf8, possible encoding types are ascii, utf8, ucs2, base64, binary, and hex
    var b = new Buffer('JavaScript');
    // If we don't use toString(), JavaScript assumes we want to convert the object to utf8.
    // We can make it convert to other formats by passing the encoding type to toString().
    var s = b.toString('base64');
    

    And here is how you decode base64 encoded strings:

    var b = new Buffer('SmF2YVNjcmlwdA==', 'base64')
    var s = b.toString();
    

    with Dojo.js

    To encode an array of bytes using dojox.encoding.base64:

    var str = dojox.encoding.base64.encode(myByteArray);
    

    To decode a base64-encoded string:

    var bytes = dojox.encoding.base64.decode(str)
    

    bower install angular-base64

    <script src="bower_components/angular-base64/angular-base64.js"></script>
    
    angular
        .module('myApp', ['base64'])
        .controller('myController', [
    
        '$base64', '$scope', 
        function($base64, $scope) {
        
            $scope.encoded = $base64.encode('a string');
            $scope.decoded = $base64.decode('YSBzdHJpbmc=');
    }]);
    

    But How?

    If you would like to learn more about how base64 is encoded in general, and in JavaScript in-particular, I would recommend this article: Computer science in JavaScript: Base64 encoding

    I'd rather use the bas64 encode/decode methods from CryptoJS, the most popular library for standard and secure cryptographic algorithms implemented in JavaScript using best practices and patterns.

    Short and fast Base64 JavaScript Decode Function without Failsafe:

    function decode_base64 (s)
    {
        var e = {}, i, k, v = [], r = '', w = String.fromCharCode;
        var n = [[65, 91], [97, 123], [48, 58], [43, 44], [47, 48]];
    
        for (z in n)
        {
            for (i = n[z][0]; i < n[z][1]; i++)
            {
                v.push(w(i));
            }
        }
        for (i = 0; i < 64; i++)
        {
            e[v[i]] = i;
        }
    
        for (i = 0; i < s.length; i+=72)
        {
            var b = 0, c, x, l = 0, o = s.substring(i, i+72);
            for (x = 0; x < o.length; x++)
            {
                c = e[o.charAt(x)];
                b = (b << 6) + c;
                l += 6;
                while (l >= 8)
                {
                    r += w((b >>> (l -= 8)) % 256);
                }
             }
        }
        return r;
    }

    For what it's worth, I got inspired by the other answers and wrote a small utility which calls the platform specific APIs to be used universally from either Node.js or a browser:

    /**
     * Encode a string of text as base64
     *
     * @param data The string of text.
     * @returns The base64 encoded string.
     */
    function encodeBase64(data: string) {
        if (typeof btoa === "function") {
            return btoa(data);
        } else if (typeof Buffer === "function") {
            return Buffer.from(data, "utf-8").toString("base64");
        } else {
            throw new Error("Failed to determine the platform specific encoder");
        }
    }
    
    /**
     * Decode a string of base64 as text
     *
     * @param data The string of base64 encoded text
     * @returns The decoded text.
     */
    function decodeBase64(data: string) {
        if (typeof atob === "function") {
            return atob(data);
        } else if (typeof Buffer === "function") {
            return Buffer.from(data, "base64").toString("utf-8");
        } else {
            throw new Error("Failed to determine the platform specific decoder");
        }
    }

    function b64_to_utf8( str ) {
      return decodeURIComponent(escape(window.atob( str )));
    }

    I have tried the Javascript routines at phpjs.org and they have worked well.

    I first tried the routines suggested in the chosen answer by Ranhiru Cooray - http://ntt.cc/2008/01/19/base64-encoder-decoder-with-javascript.html

    I found that they did not work in all circumstances. I wrote up a test case where these routines fail and posted them to GitHub at:

    https://github.com/scottcarter/base64_javascript_test_data.git

    I also posted a comment to the blog post at ntt.cc to alert the author (awaiting moderation - the article is old so not sure if comment will get posted).
