@Risadinha - except its functionality does not depend on or extend anything jQuery at all...literally the only references to jQuery in its code are attaching it to the jQuery object...so what's the point in attaching it to jQuery and therefore requiring jQuery to use? Just make it it's own 1 liner base64.encode(...) and base64.decode(...) ...attaching it to jQuery when it has zero jQuery specific functionality makes absolutely no sense...

Read up about atob() and btoa() because you will find that it is not consistent across browser types. | |

| Jun 25, 2014 at 7:23 | comment | added | sffc | I like to install code snippets like this into jQuery mainly because they'll exist in a controlled namespace. If you're not using AMD or CommonJS or a similar design pattern, it's easy for your global namespace to get really messy with a bunch of random functions. | |
| Jun 14, 2014 at 16:52 | comment | added | Lodewijk | I've gone and given up. A jQuery subset should be formalized and introduced into the JS standard like a ".net". It's not pretty, but the need is overwhelming and it's come to rule the ecosystem. | |
| Aug 26, 2013 at 17:04 | comment | added | Risadinha | This is not a core functionality or there wouldn't be as many different high voted answers (including do-it-yourself tl;dr code). So, imho this is actually a good use case for jQuery (one liner, expected to work even in Android's WebView) - even more if it's already a dependency. | |
