N/encode Module in NetSuite: Base64, UTF-8 & Hex Encoding Guide

The N/encode module provides encoding and decoding functions for data in SuiteScript — including Base64, UTF-8, hexadecimal, and Base64URL formats. It is frequently used together with N/crypto for authentication and data serialization.

Encoding to Base64

define(["N/encode", "N/log"], (encode, log) => {
  const encoded = encode.convert({
    string: "Hello, NetSuite!",
    inputEncoding: encode.Encoding.UTF_8,
    outputEncoding: encode.Encoding.BASE_64
  });
  log.debug("Base64", encoded);

  const decoded = encode.convert({
    string: encoded,
    inputEncoding: encode.Encoding.BASE_64,
    outputEncoding: encode.Encoding.UTF_8
  });
  log.debug("Decoded", decoded);
  return {};
});
