public class Base64
extends Object

This code is a stripped down version of Robert Harder's Public Domain Base64 implementation. GZIP support, InputStream and OutputStream stuff and some unneeded encode/decode methods have been removed. -- Original comments follow -- 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! Please visit http://iharder.net/base64 periodically to check for updates or to contribute improvements.

Method Detail

encodeBytes

public static String encodeBytes(byte[] source)

Encodes a byte array into Base64 notation. Does not GZip-compress data.

Parameters:

source - The data to convert

Since:

1.4

encodeBytes

public static String encodeBytes(byte[] source,
                                 int options)

Encodes a byte array into Base64 notation.

Valid options:

   GZIP: gzip-compresses object before encoding it.
   DONT_BREAK_LINES: don't break lines at 76 characters
     Note: Technically, this makes your encoding non-compliant.
 

Example: encodeBytes( myData, Base64.GZIP ) or

Example: encodeBytes( myData, Base64.GZIP | Base64.DONT_BREAK_LINES )

Parameters:

source - The data to convert

options - Specified options

Since:

2.0

See Also:

DONT_BREAK_LINES

encodeBytes

public static String encodeBytes(byte[] source,
                                 int off,
                                 int len)

Encodes a byte array into Base64 notation. Does not GZip-compress data.

Parameters:

source - The data to convert

off - Offset in array where conversion should begin

len - Length of data to convert

Since:

1.4

encodeBytes

public static String encodeBytes(byte[] source,
                                 int off,
                                 int len,
                                 int options)

Encodes a byte array into Base64 notation.

Valid options:

   GZIP: gzip-compresses object before encoding it.
   DONT_BREAK_LINES: don't break lines at 76 characters
     Note: Technically, this makes your encoding non-compliant.
 

Example: encodeBytes( myData, Base64.GZIP ) or

Example: encodeBytes( myData, Base64.GZIP | Base64.DONT_BREAK_LINES )

Parameters:

source - The data to convert

off - Offset in array where conversion should begin

len - Length of data to convert

options - Specified options

Since:

2.0

decode

public static byte[] decode(byte[] source,
                            int off,
                            int len)

Very low-level access to decoding ASCII characters in the form of a byte array. Does not support automatically gunzipping or any other "fancy" features.

Parameters:

source - The Base64 encoded data

off - The offset of where to begin decoding

len - The length of characters to decode

Returns:

decoded data

Since:

1.3

decode

public static byte[] decode(String s)
