A port of the browser's `btoa` function.
Uses `Buffer` to emulate the exact functionality of the browser's btoa
(except that it supports some unicode that the browser may not).
It turns <strong>b</strong>inary data __to__ base64-encoded <strong>a</strong>scii.
```js
(function () {
"use strict";
var btoa = require('btoa');
var bin = "Hello, 世界";
var b64 = btoa(bin);
console.log(b64); // "SGVsbG8sIBZM"
}());
```
**Note**: Unicode may or may not be handled incorrectly.
This module is intended to provide exact compatibility with the browser.
