对于更新的浏览器编码Uint8Array到字符串，并解码字符串到Uint8Array。

const base64 = {
    decode: s => Uint8Array.from(atob(s), c => c.charCodeAt(0)),
    encode: b => btoa(String.fromCharCode(...new Uint8Array(b)))
};

对于Node.js，你可以使用以下代码将string、Buffer或Uint8Array编码为string，并从string、Buffer或Uint8Array解码为Buffer。

const base64 = {
    decode: s => Buffer.from(s, 'base64'),
    encode: b => Buffer.from(b).toString('base64')
};

从这里开始:

此外，搜索“JavaScript base64 encoding”会出现许多其他选项，上面是第一个。

我已经手工重写了这些编码和解码方法，除了十六进制的编码方法外，它们都是模块化格式的，以便跨平台/浏览器兼容，并且还具有真正的私有作用域，如果它们由于速度而存在，则使用btoa和atob，而不是利用自己的编码:

https://gist.github.com/Nijikokun/5192472

用法:

base64.encode(/* String */);
base64.decode(/* String */);

utf8.encode(/* String */);
utf8.decode(/* String */);

您可以使用btoa()和atob()来转换base64编码。

关于这些函数接受/返回什么，评论中似乎有一些混淆，所以…

btoa() accepts a “string” where each character represents an 8-bit byte – if you pass a string containing characters that can’t be represented in 8 bits, it will probably break. This isn’t a problem if you’re actually treating the string as a byte array, but if you’re trying to do something else then you’ll have to encode it first. atob() returns a “string” where each character represents an 8-bit byte – that is, its value will be between 0 and 0xff. This does not mean it’s ASCII – presumably if you’re using this function at all, you expect to be working with binary data and not text.

参见:

如何使用Javascript和XMLHttpRequest加载二进制图像数据?

这里的大多数评论都过时了。您可能同时使用btoa()和atob()，除非您支持非常过时的浏览器。

检查:

https://caniuse.com/?search=atob https://caniuse.com/?search=btoa

这是一个atob()和btoa() JavaScript内置函数的现场演示:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <style>
      textarea{
        width:30%;
        height:100px;
      }
    </style>
    <script>
      // encode string to base64
      function encode()
      {
        var txt = document.getElementById("txt1").value;
        var result = btoa(txt);
        document.getElementById("txt2").value = result;
      }
      // decode base64 back to original string
      function decode()
      {
        var txt = document.getElementById("txt3").value;
        var result = atob(txt);
        document.getElementById("txt4").value = result;
      }
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div>
      <textarea id="txt1">Some text to decode
      </textarea>
    </div>
    <div>
      <input type="button" id="btnencode" value="Encode" onClick="encode()"/>
    </div>
    <div>
      <textarea id="txt2">
      </textarea>
    </div>
    <br/>
    <div>
      <textarea id="txt3">U29tZSB0ZXh0IHRvIGRlY29kZQ==
      </textarea>
    </div>
    <div>
      <input type="button" id="btndecode" value="Decode" onClick="decode()"/>
    </div>
    <div>
      <textarea id="txt4">
      </textarea>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

这里的所有解决方案在某些情况下似乎都失败了，而且理解起来相当复杂。 特别是对于非拉丁语言，如阿拉伯语

这里有一个解码UTF-16的简短解决方案

//decodes utf-16 characters such as ARABIC, URDU,PASHTO text
function decodeBase64(s) {
    var percentEncodedStr = atob(s).split('').map(function (c) {
        return '%' + ('00' + c.charCodeAt(0).toString(16)).slice(-2);
    }).join('');
    return decodeURIComponent(percentEncodedStr);
}
