btoa === A port of the browser's `btoa` function. Uses `Buffer` to emulate the exact functionality of the browser's btoa (except that it supports unicode and the browser may not). It turns **b**inary data **to** base64-encoded **a**scii. (function () { "use strict"; var btoa = require('btoa') , bin = "Hello, 世界" , b64 = btoa(bin) ; console.log(b64); // "SGVsbG8sIBZM" }()); Note: Unicode may or may not be handled incorrectly.
