Chapter 8. Using JSON for Binary Data Transfer
In this chapter, we will discuss the intersection between JSON and binary data. Here, you'll find the following recipes:
- Encoding binary data as a base64 string using Node.js
- Decoding binary data from a base64 string using Node.js
- Encoding and decoding binary data as a base64 string using JavaScript in the browser
- Encoding data as BSON using Json.NET
- Decoding data from BSON using Json.NET
- Using
DataViewto accessArrayBuffer - Encoding and decoding base64 using an
ArrayBuffer - Compressing object-body content from a Node.js server built using the express module
