Base64 encoding and decoding in client-side Javascript

Some browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera and IE10+ can handle Base64 natively. Take a look at this Stackoverflow question. It’s using btoa() and atob() functions. For server-side JavaScript (Node), you can use Buffers to decode. If you are going for a cross-browser solution, there are existing libraries like CryptoJS or code like: http://ntt.cc/2008/01/19/base64-encoder-decoder-with-javascript.html (Archive) With the latter, you need to thoroughly test … Read more

What is base 64 encoding used for?

When you have some binary data that you want to ship across a network, you generally don’t do it by just streaming the bits and bytes over the wire in a raw format. Why? because some media are made for streaming text. You never know — some protocols may interpret your binary data as control … Read more

How do you decode Base64 data in Python?

worked for me. At the risk of pasting an offensively-long result, I got: \xbb\x00\x00\x00\x00D\xc5!7\x00\x00\x00\x00D\xc5!\xb2\x00\x00\x00\x00D\xc7\x14x\x00\x00\x00\x00D\xc7\x14\xf6\x00\x00\x00\x00D\xc7\x15t\x00\x00\x00\x00D\xc7\x15\xf2\x00\x00\x00\x00D\xc7\x16pC5\x9f\xf9D\xc7\x16\xeeC[\xb5\xf5D\xc7\x17lCG\x1b;D\xc7\x17\xeaB\xe3\x0b\xa6D\xc7\x18h\x00\x00\x00\x00D\xc7\x18\xe6\x00\x00\x00\x00D\xc7\x19d\x00\x00\x00\x00D\xc7\x19\xe2\x00\x00\x00\x00D\xc7\xfe\xb4\x00\x00\x00\x00D\xc7\xff3\x00\x00\x00\x00D\xc7\xff\xb2\x00\x00\x00\x00D\xc8\x001\x00\x00\x00\x00′

How can you encode a string to Base64 in JavaScript?

You can use btoa() and atob() to convert to and from base64 encoding. There appears to be some confusion in the comments regarding what these functions accept/return, so… btoa() accepts a “string” where each character represents an 8-bit byte – if you pass a string containing characters that can’t be represented in 8 bits, it will probably break. This isn’t a … Read more

python base64 to hex

Since two weeks, I’m trying and reading to solve this problem, but everything I tried didn’t worked 🙁 I’m using python 2.7. I do have, as far as I understand, a base64-string from the format: AAMkADk0ZjU4ODc1LTY1MzAtNDdhZS04NGU5LTAwYjE2Mzg5NDA1ZABGAAAAAAAZS9Y2rt6uTJgnyUZSiNf0BwC6iam6EuExS4FgbbOF87exAAAAdGVuAAC6iam6EuExS4FgbbOF87exAAAxj5dhAAA= I want to convert it to a hex-string. Which should result in 00000000194BD636AEDEAE4C9827C9465288D7F40700BA89A9BA12E1314B81606DB385F3B7B100000074656E0000BA89A9BA12E1314B81606DB385F3B7B10000318F97610000 I tried it with the following … Read more
