I have a problem to convert binary data to base-64 in JS. I try all the things that exists on the net include this How to parse into base64 string the binary image from response?, but everyone return a wrong base-64 and I don't find why !

**I try this solution Retrieving binary file content using Javascript, base64 encode it and reverse-decode it using Python but the convert to base-64 not work for me! It's return something wrong .

I get a string binary response from server and I want to convert him to base-64 that I can create a file from him and to show him to user. This is the response I get from server to png picture for example:

�PNG

IHDRrP6�tEXtSoftwareAdobe ImageReadyq�e<�IDATx�b���?�#6��g��T=;��� >č�&g��:��A�@���LX��0�A�T    >[40f��H��>0`B

J{�М��>>@{!А�3%?@/�
0�O�U,{�9IEND�B`�

Now , I want to take this binary string and to convert him .

For example , the real base 64 of png picture is:

When I use any kind of code to convert to base-64 it's return this string :

I find this solution for encode to base 64 : https://koding.com/Activity/base64-encoding And now the encode is closer to what need to be but still not help:

I try also the soultions here:https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest/Sending_and_Receiving_Binary_Data without convert to base-64 and with 'arrayBuffer' and 'Blob' objects but the picture didn't show . The only way the picture show it's when I convert to a correct base-64 and then create arraybuffer and initialize Blob with him . But the problem is the same - I cant convert my data to correct base-64.

can anyone save me please ??

Thanks !

  • I get a string binary response from server - show the code that gets this "string binary" ... does your browser have the btoa function? Commented Sep 19, 2016 at 10:14
  • I mean that the response is binary data but this binary data is in string ( I give an example from response on the question ) . The code is simple 'POST' request from server . Thanks ! Commented Sep 19, 2016 at 10:18
  • I give an example from response on the question - I asked how you got the response, I can see the response you posted. I didn't as that question for giggles, but it may help me give you an answer that wont require some useless bloated library Commented Sep 19, 2016 at 10:26
  • ( xhr.open("POST", url, true); xhr.setRequestHeader("X-OWA-HeaderLogin-MyDataStores", "*"); xhr.setRequestHeader("json", Json_Dec); xhr.setRequestHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", ""); xhr.setRequestHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Credentials", true); xhr.onload = function (e) { if (this.status == 200) { .....try to convert it }| ) xhr.send() ; The server just need to get some json and another header . Commented Sep 19, 2016 at 10:36
  • try adding xhr.responseType = "blob" or "arraybuffer" - then you'll get a blob, or an arraybuffer if you have tools to base64 those formats ... and remove the superfluous "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" header - that's a response header, not a request header Commented Sep 19, 2016 at 10:42

Here is the link to this small library that is meant can be useful for u. It can convert base64 to binary and vice versa.

Thanks but its not convert right the binary data ):
You try this library ? I just copy the method for my project but it's convert the binary just for AAAAAAAAA ..... thanks .

My problem is solved . I use dropzone plugin to get the response from server and because of this I get binary data as a text reponse and it make my problems. I just go to dropzone.js and change 2 minor things to get the response in type of arraybuffer :

        xhr.responseType = 'arraybuffer'; ( line 1246)

This is new line to get the response in type of arrayBuffer, and then create a Blob object from the arraybuffer response .

          response = xhr.response; (line 1305 )

Change it to get response inseted TextRrsponse..

I hope that it will help somebody... Thanks everyone !
