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
