One-file library for old school (76-char lines) base64 encoding in pure javascript.

The problem

Javascript provides the native atob and btoa functions BUT they dont implement the legacy line break every 76 charachters.

This introduces compatibility problems with other services/applications that expect the text in that way (for example SSH-KEY engines).

Provided Functions

This library simply wraps the native javascript functions with a "line-breaker" and returns the result.

There are two functions with NO OBJECTS:

• base64_encode(input plain string) -> returns base64 string with line breaks
• base64_decode(input base64 string) -> returns plain string
