1.7.0 verified Sat Apr 25 auth: no javascript

env-base64-json (v1.7.0) is a CLI tool and library that outputs all environment variables as a base64-encoded JSON string. It offers a simple npx command-line interface and a programmatic API for Node.js. Unlike generic JSON encoding utilities, it specifically targets environment variable serialization for secure transmission or storage. The package is rarely updated but is stable and lightweight, with no external dependencies.

Quickstart

Demonstrates programmatic usage: encode environment variables to base64 JSON and decode.

const { getEnvBase64Json } = require('env-base64-json');
const base64Env = getEnvBase64Json();
console.log(base64Env);
// Decode it back
const decoded = JSON.parse(Buffer.from(base64Env, 'base64').toString());
console.log(decoded);
