140byt.es - Base64 Encoder / Decoder

Encodes or decodes strings using Base64. Works in all modern Browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera), but does not work in IE.

Hint: It is simply using the not so well known btoa and atob methods.

More info: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.btoa

For a "real" version in exactly 140 Bytes see https://gist.github.com/989006 !

hey @aemkei, would you mind taking the comments out of this package.json?

@jed Okay, just removed them.

These work with DOMString, not binary data. Running raw binary data can result in the browser throwing an error.

u must be joking, right?
