Uses Buffer to emulate the exact functionality of the browser's atob.
Note: Unicode may be handled incorrectly (like the browser).
It turns base64-encoded ascii data back to binary.
(function () {
"use strict";
var atob = require('atob');
var b64 = "SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxkIQ==";

}());

The btoa package is the counterpart to atob, providing base64 encoding of binary data. While atob is used for decoding, btoa is used for encoding binary data to base64 strings.
The buffer module is built into Node.js and provides a way to handle binary data. It includes methods for encoding and decoding base64 without the need for separate packages like atob or btoa.
The base-64 package offers both encoding and decoding functionalities for base64. It is an alternative to using separate atob and btoa packages, providing a unified API for both operations.
