这是一个helper funktion来编码到base64url:

base64url (s) {
        var to64url = btao(s);
         // Replace non-url compatible chars with base64url standard chars and remove leading =
        return to64url.replace(/\+/g, '_').replace(/\//g, '-').replace(/=+$/g, '');
    }

您可以使用btoa(从Base64)和atob(从Base64)。

对于ie9及以下版本，请尝试jquery-base64插件:

$.base64.encode("this is a test");
$.base64.decode("dGhpcyBpcyBhIHRlc3Q=");

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, '/');

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:

用法:

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

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

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。

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;
}
