public final class Base64
extends java.lang.Object

This class provides methods for performing base64 encoding and decoding. Base64 is a mechanism for encoding binary data in ASCII form by converting sets of three bytes with eight significant bits each to sets of four bytes with six significant bits each.

Method Summary

static byte[]	decode(java.lang.String encodedData) Decodes the provided set of base64-encoded data.
static java.lang.String	encode(byte[] rawData) Encodes the provided raw data using base64.
static void	main(java.lang.String[] args) Provide a command-line utility that may be used to base64-encode and decode strings and file contents.

Parameters:

encodedData - The base64-encoded data to decode. It must not be null.

Returns:

The decoded raw data.

Throws:

java.text.ParseException - If a problem occurs while attempting to decode the provided data.

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)
