Class Base64
public class Base64
extends java.lang.Object
Encodes and decodes to and from Base64 notation.
Change Log:
- v2.1 - Cleaned up javadoc comments and unused variables and methods. Added
some convenience methods for reading and writing to and from files.
- v2.0.2 - Now specifies UTF-8 encoding in places where the code fails on systems
with other encodings (like EBCDIC).
- v2.0.1 - Fixed an error when decoding a single byte, that is, when the
encoded data was a single byte.
- v2.0 - I got rid of methods that used booleans to set options.
Now everything is more consolidated and cleaner. The code now detects
when data that's being decoded is gzip-compressed and will decompress it
automatically. Generally things are cleaner. You'll probably have to
change some method calls that you were making to support the new
options format (ints that you "OR" together).
- v1.5.1 - Fixed bug when decompressing and decoding to a
byte[] using decode( String s, boolean gzipCompressed ).
Added the ability to "suspend" encoding in the Output Stream so
you can turn on and off the encoding if you need to embed base64
data in an otherwise "normal" stream (like an XML file).
- v1.5 - Output stream pases on flush() command but doesn't do anything itself.
This helps when using GZIP streams.
Added the ability to GZip-compress objects before encoding them.
- v1.4 - Added helper methods to read/write files.
- v1.3.6 - Fixed OutputStream.flush() so that 'position' is reset.
- v1.3.5 - Added flag to turn on and off line breaks. Fixed bug in input stream
where last buffer being read, if not completely full, was not returned.
- v1.3.4 - Fixed when "improperly padded stream" error was thrown at the wrong time.
- v1.3.3 - Fixed I/O streams which were totally messed up.
I am placing this code in the Public Domain. Do with it as you will.
This software comes with no guarantees or warranties but with
plenty of well-wishing instead!
