# 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:
```javascript
// Implements the WindowBase64 interface on the global object
require('w3c-windowbase64').WindowBase64.apply(this);
```
and then use it from whatever objects you want including the global object
```javascript
var base64Str = btoa('string to encode');
```
or use the methods directly from the module
```javascript
var base64Str = require('w3c-windowbase64').btoa('string to encode');
```
