To convert from base64 to ASCII and vice versa, browsers have had global `atob` and `btoa` functions for a while now. At the moment, these are defined in the HTML standard: http://whatwg.org/html/webappapis.html#atob
However, such utility methods are not only useful in browsers. How about adding these as global functions to ECMAScript so that they’re natively available in all JavaScript engines, not just in browser environments? _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
