Encodes and Decodes the given data in base64. This encoding is designed to make binary data survive transport through transport layers that are not 8-bit clean, such as mail bodies. Base64-encoded data takes about 33% more space than the original data.
This javascript code is used to encode / decode data using base64 (this encoding is designed to make binary data survive transport through transport layers that are not 8-bit clean). Script is fully compatible with UTF-8 encoding. You can use base64 encoded data as simple encryption mechanism. If you plan using UTF-8 encoding in your project don’t forget to set the page encoding to UTF-8 (Content-Type meta tag).
Example
$.base64Encode("I'm Persian."); // return "SSdtIFBlcnNpYW4u" $.base64Decode("SSdtIFBlcnNpYW4u"); // return "I'm Persian."
