The plugins site is currently in development.
We've been looking to provide a higher-quality, spam-free experience at the plugins site for some time, and a major error on our part forced us to shut down the current site before we could put the new one in place. We are developing a new site, and you can follow along with its development on GitHub. For more information about this transition, including steps you can take as a plugin author to prepare, please read our post about what's going on.
Base64 functions
Encodes and Decodes the given data in base64.
This encoding is designed to make binary data survive transport through transport layers that are not 8-bit clean, such as mail bodies.
Base64-encoded data takes about 33% more space than the original data.
This javascript code is used to encode / decode data using base64 (this encoding is designed to make binary data survive transport through transport layers that are not 8-bit clean). Script is fully compatible with UTF-8 encoding. You can use base64 encoded data as simple encryption mechanism.
If you plan using UTF-8 encoding in your project don't forget to set the page encoding to UTF-8 (Content-Type meta tag).
Example
$.base64Encode("I'm Persian."); // return "SSdtIFBlcnNpYW4u"
$.base64Decode("SSdtIFBlcnNpYW4u"); // return "I'm Persian."
