//METHOD 1

const data = 'CodezUp';
console.log('---ORIGINAL-----', data)

// Encode String

const encode = Buffer.from(data).toString('base64')
console.log('\n---ENCODED-----', encode)

// Decode String

const decode = Buffer.from(encode, 'base64').toString('utf-8')

// METHOD 2

// Define the string - btoa will encode
var encodedStringAtoB = "SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh";

// Decode the String
var decodedStringAtoB = atob(encodedStringAtoB);

console.log("final result: ", decodedStringAtoB);
