atob === | **atob** | [btoa](https://git.coolaj86.com/coolaj86/btoa.js) | [unibabel.js](https://git.coolaj86.com/coolaj86/unibabel.js) | Sponsored by [ppl](https://ppl.family) Uses `Buffer` to emulate the exact functionality of the browser's atob. Note: Unicode may be handled incorrectly (like the browser). It turns base64-encoded ascii data back **to** binary. ```javascript (function () { "use strict"; var atob = require('atob'); var b64 = "SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxkIQ=="; var bin = atob(b64); console.log(bin); // "Hello, World!" }()); ``` ### Need Unicode and Binary Support in the Browser?
