What is base64url?

The base64url npm package provides utilities for encoding and decoding data in base64url format, which is a URL-safe variant of base64. It is commonly used to encode data in a way that can be safely transmitted over URLs without encoding issues.

What are base64url's main functionalities?

Encoding to base64url

This feature allows you to encode a string or buffer into base64url format. The provided code sample demonstrates how to encode the string 'Hello World!' using the base64url package.

"use strict"; const base64url = require('base64url'); const encoded = base64url('Hello World!'); console.log(encoded);

Decoding from base64url

This feature enables you to decode a base64url encoded string back into its original form. The code sample shows how to decode the string 'SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh' back to 'Hello World!'.

"use strict"; const base64url = require('base64url'); const decoded = base64url.decode('SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh'); console.log(decoded);

From base64 to base64url

This feature allows you to convert a base64 encoded string to a base64url encoded string. The code sample illustrates converting a base64 string 'SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh==' to base64url format.

"use strict"; const base64url = require('base64url'); const base64 = 'SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh=='; const base64urlString = base64url.fromBase64(base64); console.log(base64urlString);

To base64 from base64url

This feature converts a base64url encoded string back to a standard base64 encoded string. The code sample demonstrates converting 'SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh' from base64url to regular base64.

"use strict"; const base64url = require('base64url'); const base64urlString = 'SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh'; const base64 = base64url.toBase64(base64urlString); console.log(base64);
