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==";
  var bin = atob(b64);

  console.log(bin); // "Hello, World!"
}());

buffer

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.

base-64

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.
