This module will parse and serialize between an object and a base64 encoded JSON string.
{ blam: 'pow' } becomes 'eyJibGFtIjoicG93In0=' and vice versa.
The main export returns an object parsed from the request's querystring. param` can be used to specify
which parameter to parse. The value for this parameter should be a URI encoded, base64 encoding of a JSON string. Yeah, thats a mouthful.
Returns a base64 encoded JSON string of the provided object
Returns an object parsed from a base64 encoded JSON string
