Currently, JSZip exposes a lot of internal functions :

JSZip.base64.decode
JSZip.base64.encode
JSZip.prototype.crc32
JSZip.prototype.utf8decode
JSZip.prototype.utf8encode

JSZip.utils.MAX_VALUE_16BITS
JSZip.utils.MAX_VALUE_32BITS
JSZip.utils.arrayBuffer2Blob
JSZip.utils.checkSupport
JSZip.utils.findCompression
JSZip.utils.getTypeOf
JSZip.utils.isRegExp
JSZip.utils.pretty
JSZip.utils.string2Blob
JSZip.utils.string2Uint8Array
JSZip.utils.string2binary
JSZip.utils.transformTo
JSZip.utils.uint8Array2String

These functions/objects are not documented and in my opinion not really useful outside JSZip. The base64/crc32/utf8 methods may have some uses for other people but their signatures are sometimes surprising (utf8encode takes a string and return a string for example).

I think we should deprecate the list above (keep them internally but flag their inclusion in the public API as deprecated).
Thoughts, anyone ?

Yep, deprecating from the public API sounds good to me

I have a question, why base64 should be abandoned?

So far as I can tell passing base64 string as an input for reading zip is the only common method for in-memory file handling between node and browser.

Or there are another ways I'm missing?

Thank you so much in advance for your answer.

@shytikov this deprecates the object JSZip.base64, not the support of base64 input/output.
Regarding the node <-> browser communication, I would use xhr.responseType = "arraybuffer" (if you can ignore IE <= 9)
