### Parameters

- `encodedData`
- : A binary string (i.e., a string in which each character in the string is treated as a byte of binary data) containing base64-encoded data.
- : A base64-encoded string, using the alphabet produced by {{domxref("Window.btoa()")}}.

### Return value

An ASCII string containing decoded data from `encodedData`.
A binary string containing raw bytes decoded from `encodedData`. Strings in JavaScript are encoded as UTF-16, so this means each character must have a code point less than 256, representing one byte of data.
