Method Detail

isBase64

public static boolean isBase64(byte octect)

isBase64

public static boolean isBase64(byte[] arrayOctect)

Tests a given byte array to see if it contains only valid characters within the Base64 alphabet.

Parameters:

arrayOctect - byte array to test

Returns:

true if all bytes are valid characters in the Base64 alphabet or if the byte array is empty; false, otherwise

isBase64

public static boolean isBase64(String isValidString)

encodeBase64

public static byte[] encodeBase64(byte[] binaryData)

Encodes binary data using the base64 algorithm but does not chunk the output.

Parameters:

binaryData - binary data to encode

Returns:

Base64 characters

decode

public static byte[] decode(byte[] base64Data)

Decodes Base64 data into octects

Parameters:

base64Data - Byte array containing Base64 data

Returns:

Array containing decoded data.

encode

public static byte[] encode(byte[] pArray)

Encodes a byte[] containing binary data, into a byte[] containing characters in the Base64 alphabet.

Parameters:

pArray - a byte array containing binary data

Returns:

A byte array containing only Base64 character data

encode

public static String encode(String data,
                            String charEncoding)
                     throws UnsupportedEncodingException

Returns the base64 encoding of String (by first converting to byte[], using the specified charEncoding). The return value is also a String. The Default codeEncoding is ISO-8859-1.

Parameters:

data - String of data to convert

charEncoding - the character encoding to use when converting a String to a byte[]

Returns:

Base64-encoded String

Throws:

UnsupportedEncodingException

encode

public static String encode(String data)

Returns the base64 encoding of String. First the String is converted to byte[], using the character encoding of ISO-8859-1.

Parameters:

data - String of data to convert

Returns:

Base64-encoded String
