The WindowBase64.atob() function decodes a string of data which has been encoded using base-64 encoding. You can use the window.btoa() method to encode and transmit data which may otherwise cause communication problems, then transmit it and use the window.atob() method to decode the data again. For example, you can encode, transmit, and decode control characters such as ASCII values 0 through 31.
For use with Unicode or UTF-8 strings, see this note at Base64 encoding and decoding and this note at window.btoa().
Syntax
var decodedData = window.atob(encodedData);
Throws
Throws a DOMException if the length of passed-in string is not a multiple of 4.
Example
var encodedData = window.btoa("Hello, world"); // encode a string
var decodedData = window.atob(encodedData); // decode the string

[1] atob() is also available to XPCOM components implemented in JavaScript, even though window is not the global object in components.
[2] Starting with Firefox 27, atob() ignores all space characters in the argument to comply with the latest HTML5 spec. (bug 711180)
