Method Detail

encode

public static String 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(String str)

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. this method also properly handles 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.
