Method Detail

decode

public static final java.lang.String decode(java.lang.String base64str)

Decode a Base64-encoded string. This method should be called only when it is known that the decoded result will be a valid string and not binary data.

Parameters:

base64str - The Base64-encoded string.

Returns:

The decoded result.

decode

public static final byte[] decode(byte[] encoded)

Decode a Base64-encoded byte array containing single-byte characters from the Base64 alphabet.

Parameters:

encoded - The Base64-encoded array of single-byte characters.

Returns:

The decoded result.

decode

public static final byte[] decode(byte[] encoded,
                                  int offset,
                                  int len)

Decode a subset of a Base64-encoded byte array containing single-byte characters from the Base64 alphabet.

Parameters:

encoded - The Base64-encoded array of single-byte characters.

offset - The index of the first character to be decoded.

len - The number of characters to be decoded.

Returns:

The decoded result.

encode

public static final byte[] encode(byte[] bytes)

Base64-encode an array of bytes.

Parameters:

bytes - The array of bytes to be encoded.

Returns:

The Base64-encoded result, as an array of single-byte characters from the Base64 alphabet.

encode

public static final java.lang.String encode(java.lang.String str)

Base64-encode a string.

Parameters:

str - The string to be encoded.

Returns:

The Base64-encoded result, as a string.
