Base64

To encode a string use

const s = base64Encode(text);

This will decode text Base64 string

// for example
const s = base64Decode('SGFwcHkgZmFjZQ==');

results in Happy face

Base64Url

To encode a string use

const s = base64UrlEncode(text);

This will encode text to a Base64Url string. It is assumed text is in UTF-8 format. Padding is not added.

// for example
const s = base64UrlEncode('Hello World');

results in SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ

To decode a Base64Url string use

const s = base64UrlDecode('text');

This will decode text Base64Url string

// for example
const s = base64UrlDecode('SGFwcHkgZmFjZQ');

results in Happy face
