Class B64Code

    java.lang.Object
      org.mortbay.jetty.security.B64Code

    public class B64Code

extends Object

Fast B64 Encoder/Decoder as described in RFC 1421.

Does not insert or interpret whitespace as described in RFC 1521. If you require this you must pre/post process your data.

Note that in a web context the usual case is to not want linebreaks or other white space in the encoded output.

Method Detail

### encode

    public static String encode(String s)

  Base 64 encode as described in RFC 1421.

  Does not insert whitespace as described in RFC 1521.

  Parameters:
    `s` - String to encode.
  Returns:
    String containing the encoded form of the input.

### encode

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

  Base 64 encode as described in RFC 1421.

  Does not insert whitespace as described in RFC 1521.

  Parameters:
    `s` - String to encode.
    `charEncoding` - String representing the name of the character encoding of the provided input String.
  Returns:
    String containing the encoded form of the input.
  Throws:
    `UnsupportedEncodingException`

### encode

    public static char[] encode(byte[] b)

  Fast Base 64 encode as described in RFC 1421.

  Does not insert whitespace as described in RFC 1521.

  Avoids creating extra copies of the input/output.

  Parameters:
    `b` - byte array to encode.
  Returns:
    char array containing the encoded form of the input.

### decode

    public static String decode(String s)

  Base 64 decode as described in RFC 1421.

  Does not attempt to cope with extra whitespace as described in RFC 1521.

  Parameters:
    `s` - String to decode
  Returns:
    String decoded byte array.

### decode

    public static String decode(String s,
                                String charEncoding)
                         throws UnsupportedEncodingException

  Base 64 decode as described in RFC 1421.

  Does not attempt to cope with extra whitespace as described in RFC 1521.

  Parameters:
    `s` - String to decode
    `charEncoding` - String representing the character encoding used to map the decoded bytes into a String.
  Returns:
    String decoded byte array.
  Throws:
    `UnsupportedEncodingException`

### decode

    public static byte[] decode(char[] b)

  Fast Base 64 decode as described in RFC 1421.

  Does not attempt to cope with extra whitespace as described in RFC 1521.

  Avoids creating extra copies of the input/output.

  Note this code has been flattened for performance.

  Parameters:
    `b` - char array to decode.
  Returns:
    byte array containing the decoded form of the input.
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if the input is not a valid B64 encoding.
