  • Method Details

    • encode

      public static char[] encode(byte[] data)
      returns an array of base64-encoded characters to represent the passed data array.
      Parameters:
      data - the array of bytes to encode
      Returns:
      base64-coded character array.

    • decode

      public static byte[] decode(char[] data)
      Decodes a BASE-64 encoded stream to recover the original data. White space before and after will be trimmed away, but no other manipulation of the input will be performed. As of version 1.2 this method will properly handle input containing junk characters (newlines and the like) rather than throwing an error. It does this by pre-parsing the input and generating from that a count of VALID input characters.
      Parameters:
      data - the character data.
      Returns:
      The decoded data.

    • main

      public static void main(String[] args)
      Entry point.
      Parameters:
      args - the command line arguments.
