Decodes a string of Base64-encoded data into bytes, and encodes those bytes into a string using Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1).
The data
may be any JavaScript-value that can be coerced into a string.
This function is only provided for compatibility with legacy web platform APIs and should never be used in new code, because they use strings to represent binary data and predate the introduction of typed arrays in JavaScript. For code running using Node.js APIs, converting between base64-encoded strings and binary data should be performed using Buffer.from(str, 'base64')
and buf.toString('base64')
.
