Base64, TypedArrays, and UTF-8 / Unicode conversions in Browser (and Node) JavaScript

This is based wholly on the work by good folks at the MDN. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WindowBase64/Base64_encoding_and_decoding

Examples

// Base64

var myArray = base64DecToArr("QmFzZSA2NCDigJQgTW96aWxsYSBEZXZlbG9wZXIgTmV0d29yaw=="); // "Base 64 \u2014 Mozilla Developer Network"

var myBuffer = base64DecToArr("QmFzZSA2NCDigJQgTW96aWxsYSBEZXZlbG9wZXIgTmV0d29yaw==").buffer; // "Base 64 \u2014 Mozilla Developer Network"

console.log(myBuffer.byteLength);

// Crazy Unicode

var sMyInput = "I'm a ☢ ☃ that plays 𝄢 guitar and spea̧͈͖ks Ar̽̾̈́͒͑ ̶̧̨̱̹̭̯ͧ̾ͬC̷̙̲̝͖ͭ̏ͥͮ͟Oͮ͏̮̪̝͍M̲̖͊̒ͪͩͬ̚̚͜!";

var aMyUTF8Input = strToUTF8Arr(sMyInput);

var sMyBase64 = base64EncArr(aMyUTF8Input);

alert(sMyBase64);

var aMyUTF8Output = base64DecToArr(sMyBase64);

var sMyOutput = UTF8ArrToStr(aMyUTF8Output);

alert(sMyOutput);
