Encodes or decodes strings using Base64. Works in all modern Browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera), but does not work in IE.
Hint: It is simply using the not so well known btoa and atob methods.

These work with DOMString, not binary data. Running raw binary data can result in the browser throwing an error.
u must be joking, right?
@jed Okay, just removed them.
