- TypeScript (code and typings)
- transpiled ES5 (unbundled and bundled UMD module)
- transpiled ES6 (unbundled and bundled UMD module)

Node JS support
Node JS requires a “shim” for atob and btoa functions, for example:
const base64 = require('base-64');
global.btoa = function(s) { return base64.encode(s); }
global.atob = function(s) { return base64.decode(s); }
