Uhm, why did you create this?

btoa exist everywhere now basically. it's global in nodejs since v16.

https://nodejs.org/dist/latest/docs/api/globals.html#btoadata

v16 is LTS right now...

And there is also kind of already one out there that dose the same thing: https://github.com/hughsk/btoa-lite

also using base64 should best be avoided, it's better to just deal with TypedArrays / Blobs instead of increasing the payload/memory with 33% more data

This package exists because hughsk/btoa-lite#3 never ended up getting merged. hughsk/btoa-lite#3 replaced new Buffer (which throws a deprecation warning) with Buffer.from.

Somehow, the docs don't recommend using btoa.

Yes

Uhm, why did you create this?

I don't remember anymore. There might be some clues in hughsk/btoa-lite#3.
I do remember that at some point, we got the node-fetch org after planning to publish it there for a couple years, so I just went ahead with it.

So, in theory, I think this makes this package the only one to wrap the "corect" way of doing btoa. Do you wanna do anything with it?
