blast64 v0.2.2

⚡️ blast64

Apparently the fastest way of decoding Base64 in Chrome.

Installation

npm install blast64

Usage

var blast64 = require('blast64');

// From base64 to UTF-8 string
blast64.decode(base64string);

// From base64 to Uint8Array
blast64.decode_to_array(base64string);

Testing and Benchmark

This is the average time from encoded string to UTF-8 encoded result.

The 💓 was ran 10000000 times.

The ~355kb payload was ran 1000 times.

And this are the average times without the TextDecoder step where relevant:

0 fast64.decode(str, {uint8Array: true})

Not bad for a few hours of hacking I'd say! But it's still only decoding, would have to sit down and make it encode as well at some point.
