This article delves into the core principles of Base64 encoding and its critical role in data transmission. By analyzing the conversion needs between binary and text data, it explains how Base64 ensures safe data transfer over text-oriented media without corruption. Combining historical context and modern use cases, the paper details the working mechanism of Base64 encoding, its fundamental differences from ASCII encoding, and demonstrates its necessity in practical communication through concrete examples. It also discusses the trade-offs between encoding efficiency and data integrity, providing a comprehensive technical perspective for developers.

This article explores encoding problems encountered when uploading files using the FileReader API in JavaScript. The traditional readAsBinaryString method is deprecated because it converts binary data to DOMString (UTF-8 strings), corrupting binary files like PNGs. As a best practice, the readAsDataURL method is recommended, which encodes files as Base64 data URLs to ensure data integrity. The article analyzes the root cause, compares different solutions, and provides complete code examples to help developers achieve cross-browser compatible file uploads.
