# abab [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/abab) [](https://travis-ci.org/jsdom/abab)
|
|
|
|
A JavaScript module that implements `window.atob` and `window.btoa` according the forgiving-base64 algorithm in the [Infra Standard](https://infra.spec.whatwg.org/#forgiving-base64). The original code was forked from [w3c/web-platform-tests](https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests/blob/master/html/webappapis/atob/base64.html).
|
|
|
|
Compatibility: Node.js version 3+ and all major browsers.
|
|
|
|
Install with `npm`:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
npm install abab
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
### `btoa` (base64 encode)
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const { btoa } = require('abab');
|
|
btoa('Hello, world!'); // 'SGVsbG8sIHdvcmxkIQ=='
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `atob` (base64 decode)
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const { atob } = require('abab');
|
|
atob('SGVsbG8sIHdvcmxkIQ=='); // 'Hello, world!'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Valid characters
|
|
|
|
[Per the spec](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/webappapis.html#atob:dom-windowbase64-btoa-3), `btoa` will accept strings "containing only characters in the range `U+0000` to `U+00FF`." If passed a string with characters above `U+00FF`, `btoa` will return `null`. If `atob` is passed a string that is not base64-valid, it will also return `null`. In both cases when `null` is returned, the spec calls for throwing a `DOMException` of type `InvalidCharacterError`.

|
## Browsers
|
|
|
|
If you want to include just one of the methods to save bytes in your client-side code, you can `require` the desired module directly.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const atob = require('abab/lib/atob');
|
|
const btoa = require('abab/lib/btoa');
|
|
```

### Checklists

If you're **submitting a PR** or **deploying to npm**, please use the [checklists in CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/jsdom/abab/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#checklists)

|
### Remembering `atob` vs. `btoa`
|
|
|
|
Here's a mnemonic that might be useful: if you have a plain string and want to base64 encode it, then decode it, `btoa` is what you run before (**b**efore - **b**toa), and `atob` is what you run after (**a**fter - **a**tob).
