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.

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:

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')
};

为了使Base64编码的字符串URL友好，在JavaScript中你可以这样做:

// if this is your Base64 encoded string
var str = 'VGhpcyBpcyBhbiBhd2Vzb21lIHNjcmlwdA=='; 

// make URL friendly:
str = str.replace(/\+/g, '-').replace(/\//g, '_').replace(/\=+$/, '');

// reverse to original encoding
str = (str + '===').slice(0, str.length + (str.length % 4));
str = str.replace(/-/g, '+').replace(/_/g, '/');

这是一个缩小的填充窗口。Atob + window.btoa:

如果你使用Node.js，你可以这样做:

let a = Buffer.from('JavaScript').toString('base64');
console.log(a);

let b = Buffer.from(a, 'base64').toString();
console.log(b);

在_utf8_decode的两个实现中都有一些错误。C1和c2由于var语句的错误使用被赋值为全局变量，c3根本没有初始化或声明。

它可以工作，但这些变量将覆盖该函数之外的任何具有相同名称的现有变量。

这里有一个版本不会这样做:

// private method for UTF-8 decoding
_utf8_decode : function (utftext) {
    var string = "";
    var i = 0;
    var c = 0, c1 = 0, c2 = 0;

    while ( i < utftext.length ) {

        c = utftext.charCodeAt(i);

        if (c < 128) {
            string += String.fromCharCode(c);
            i++;
        }
        else if((c > 191) && (c < 224)) {
            c1 = utftext.charCodeAt(i+1);
            string += String.fromCharCode(((c & 31) << 6) | (c1 & 63));
            i += 2;
        }
        else {
            c1 = utftext.charCodeAt(i+1);
            c2 = utftext.charCodeAt(i+2);
            string += String.fromCharCode(((c & 15) << 12) | ((c1 & 63) << 6) | (c2 & 63));
            i += 3;
        }
    }
    return string;
}
