Class UrlBase64

    java.lang.Object
      org.bouncycastle.util.encoders.UrlBase64

    public class UrlBase64

extends java.lang.Object

Convert binary data to and from UrlBase64 encoding. This is identical to Base64 encoding, except that the padding character is "." and the other non-alphanumeric characters are "-" and "_" instead of "+" and "/".

The purpose of UrlBase64 encoding is to provide a compact encoding of binary data that is safe for use as an URL parameter. Base64 encoding does not produce encoded values that are safe for use in URLs, since "/" can be interpreted as a path delimiter; "+" is the encoded form of a space; and "=" is used to separate a name from the corresponding value in an URL parameter.

Constructor Summary
`UrlBase64()`

`static byte[]` `decode(byte[] data)` Decode the URL safe base 64 encoded input data - white space will be ignored.
`static int` `decode(byte[] data, java.io.OutputStream out)` decode the URL safe base 64 encoded byte data writing it to the given output stream, whitespace characters will be ignored.
`static byte[]` `decode(java.lang.String data)` decode the URL safe base 64 encoded String data - whitespace will be ignored.
`static int` `decode(java.lang.String data, java.io.OutputStream out)` Decode the URL safe base 64 encoded String data writing it to the given output stream, whitespace characters will be ignored.
`static byte[]` `encode(byte[] data)` Encode the input data producing a URL safe base 64 encoded byte array.
`static int` `encode(byte[] data, java.io.OutputStream out)` Encode the byte data writing it to the given output stream.
