@hapi/b64

What is @hapi/b64?

The @hapi/b64 package is designed for encoding and decoding data in base64 format. It is part of the hapi ecosystem, which is a rich framework for building applications and services. @hapi/b64 provides a straightforward and efficient way to work with base64 encoded data in Node.js applications.

What are @hapi/b64's main functionalities?

Encoding data to base64

This feature allows you to encode textual or binary data into base64 format. The provided code sample demonstrates how to encode the string 'Hello, World!' into base64.

"use strict"; const B64 = require('@hapi/b64'); const encoded = B64.encode('Hello, World!'); console.log(encoded);

Decoding base64 data

This feature enables the decoding of base64 encoded data back into its original format. The code sample shows how to decode a base64 encoded string back to 'Hello, World!'.

"use strict"; const B64 = require('@hapi/b64'); const decoded = B64.decode('SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxkIQ=='); console.log(decoded.toString());

Other packages similar to @hapi/b64

base64-js

base64-js is a package that provides similar base64 encoding and decoding functionalities. Compared to @hapi/b64, base64-js focuses solely on base64 operations and might offer more specialized functions for handling base64 data in various scenarios.

buffer

The buffer package includes methods for encoding and decoding base64 data as part of its broader functionality for handling binary data in Node.js. While @hapi/b64 is specifically tailored for base64 encoding and decoding, buffer offers a wider range of capabilities for binary data manipulation.

b64 is part of the hapi ecosystem and was designed to work seamlessly with the hapi web framework and its other components (but works great on its own or with other frameworks). If you are using a different web framework and find this module useful, check out hapi – they work even better together.
