(feel free to write a bit about it)

You can check for btoa and atob support and refer to jQuery.base64

if (!window.btoa) window.btoa = $.base64.btoa
if (!window.atob) window.atob = $.base64.atob

You can define some options per default, set them globally use the following syntax:

$.base64.utf8encode = true;

Utf8 encoding and decoding as global option, possibilities:

You can override the global options by passing an extra parameter:

$.base64[property](<value>, options); / $.base64(<property>, <value>, options);

To enable UTF8-encoding pass true as the last paramter:

$.base64.atob(<value>, true);
$.base64('atob', <value>, true);

Get the raw script, download the complete package or fork it on GitHub.
