I am trying to encode a text to Base64 and using NodeJS, and then while getting the data I am decoding it back from Base64. Now I need to change the data into JSON so I could fill the relevant fields but its not converting to JSON.
Here is my code:
fs.readFile('./setting.txt', 'utf8', function(err, data) {
if (err) throw err;
var encodedData = base64.encode(data);
var decoded = base64.decode(encodedData).replace(/\n/g, '').replace(/\s/g, " ");
return res.status(200).send(decoded);
});
In setting.txt I have the following text:
LENGTH=1076
CRC16=28653
OFFSET=37
MEASUREMENT_SAMPLING_RATE=4
MEASUREMENT_RANGE=1
MEASUREMENT_TRACE_LENGTH=16384
MEASUREMENT_PRETRIGGER_LENGTH=0
MEASUREMENT_UNIT=2
MEASUREMENT_OFFSET_REMOVER=1
This decodes the result properly but when I use JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(decoded ) its not converting to JSON.
Can someone help me with it.
What does base-64 encoding/decoding have to do with mapping a list of tuples (key/value pairs) like this:
LENGTH=1076
CRC16=28653
OFFSET=37
MEASUREMENT_SAMPLING_RATE=4
MEASUREMENT_RANGE=1
MEASUREMENT_TRACE_LENGTH=16384
MEASUREMENT_PRETRIGGER_LENGTH=0
MEASUREMENT_UNIT=2
MEASUREMENT_OFFSET_REMOVER=1
into JSON?
If you want to "turn it (the above) into JSON", you need to:
JSON.stringify() to convert it to JSON.For instance:
function jsonify( document ) {
const tuples = document
.split( /\n|\r\n?/ )
.map( x => x.split( '=', 2) )
.map( ([k,v]) => {
const n = Number(n);
return [ k , n === NaN ? v : n ];
});
const obj = Object.fromEntries(tuples);
const json = JSON.stringify(obj);
return json;
}
Try below snippet
let base64Json= new Buffer(JSON.stringify({}),"base64").toString('base64');
let json = new Buffer(base64Json, 'ascii').toString('ascii');
