I’m looking for a way to obfuscate and deobfuscate a string in JavaScript; by which I mean encryption and decryption when security is not an issue. Ideally something native to JS (like base64_encode() and base64_decode() in PHP) to “turn a string into something else and back again” without having to write a function.
Any suggestions welcome!
You can use btoa() and atob().
btoa()is likebase64_encode()andatob()likebase64_decode().Here is an example:
Keep in mind that this is not a secure way to keep secrets. Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format by translating it into a radix-64 representation.
