#W3C WindowBase64#
Provides the WindowBase64 interface defined in the "Base64 utility methods" (HTML5 section 6.2)
The atob() and btoa() methods allow authors to transform content to and from the base64 encoding.
In these APIs, for mnemonic purposes, the "b" can be considered to stand for "binary", and the "a" for "ASCII". In practice, though, for primarily historical reasons, both the input and output of these functions are Unicode strings.
##Requirements##
This polyfill will provide HTML5 compliant base64 interface to JavaScript platforms supporting the Buffer API.
It is currently supported by node.js and Wakanda.
Let me know if you are aware of other compatible platforms
##How to use##
You might use it directly from the module itself or apply it to any other object
ex:
// Implements the WindowBase64 on the global object
require('w3c-html5-windowbase64').WindowBase64.apply(this);and then use it from whatever objects you want including the global object
var base64Str = btoa('string to encode');##Reference## http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/webappapis.html#atob
