react-native-base64

What is react-native-base64?

The react-native-base64 package provides utilities for encoding and decoding data in Base64 format, which is a common encoding scheme used to represent binary data in an ASCII string format. This is particularly useful in React Native applications for handling data that needs to be transmitted over media that are designed to deal with text.

What are react-native-base64's main functionalities?

Base64 Encoding

This feature allows you to encode a string into Base64 format. The code sample demonstrates encoding the string 'Hello World' into its Base64 representation.

const base64 = require('react-native-base64');
const encoded = base64.encode('Hello World');
console.log(encoded); // Outputs: 'SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ='

Base64 Decoding

This feature allows you to decode a Base64 encoded string back to its original format. The code sample demonstrates decoding the Base64 string 'SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ=' back to 'Hello World'.

const base64 = require('react-native-base64');
const decoded = base64.decode('SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ=');
console.log(decoded); // Outputs: 'Hello World'

Other packages similar to react-native-base64

base-64

The base-64 package provides similar functionality for encoding and decoding Base64 strings. It is a lightweight and simple library that can be used in both Node.js and browser environments. Compared to react-native-base64, it is more general-purpose and not specifically tailored for React Native.

js-base64

The js-base64 package is another library for encoding and decoding Base64 strings. It offers additional features such as URL-safe Base64 encoding and decoding. It is also widely used in both Node.js and browser environments. While react-native-base64 is focused on React Native, js-base64 provides a broader range of functionalities.
