Method Details

decode
Low-level access to decoding ASCII characters in the form of a byte array. Ignores GUNZIP option, if it's set. This is not generally a recommended method, although it is used internally as part of the decoding process. Special case: if len = 0, an empty array is returned. Still, if you need more speed and reduced memory footprint (and aren't gzipping), consider this method.- Parameters:
source- The Base64 encoded data- Returns:
- decoded data
- Throws:
IOException- if any I/O error occurs.- Since:
- 2.3.1
-
decode

This is not generally a recommended method, although it is used internally as part of the decoding process. Special case: if len = 0, an empty array is returned. Still, if you need more speed and reduced memory footprint (and aren't gzipping), consider this method.- Parameters:
source- The Base64 encoded dataoff- The offset of where to begin decodinglen- The length of characters to decodeoptions- Can specify options such as alphabet type to use- Returns:
- decoded data
- Throws:
IOException- If bogus characters exist in source data- Since:
- 1.3
-
decode
Decodes data from Base64 notation, automatically detecting gzip-compressed data and decompressing it.- Parameters:
s- the string to decode- Returns:
- the decoded data
- Throws:
IOException- If there is a problem- Since:
- 1.4
-
decode
Decodes data from Base64 notation, automatically detecting gzip-compressed data and decompressing it.- Parameters:
s- the string to decodeoptions- encode options such as URL_SAFE- Returns:
- the decoded data
- Throws:
IOException- if there is an errorNullPointerException- if s is null- Since:
- 1.4
-
decodeToObject
public static Object decodeToObject(String encodedObject) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException Attempts to decode Base64 data and deserialize a Java Object within. Returns null if there was an error.- Parameters:
encodedObject- The Base64 data to decode- Returns:
- The decoded and deserialized object
- Throws:
NullPointerException- if encodedObject is nullIOException- if there is a general errorClassNotFoundException- if the decoded object is of a class that cannot be found by the JVM- Since:
- 1.5
-
decodeToObject
public static Object decodeToObject(String encodedObject, int options, ClassLoader loader) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException Attempts to decode Base64 data and deserialize a Java Object within. Returns null if there was an error. If loader is not null, it will be the class loader used when deserializing.- Parameters:
encodedObject- The Base64 data to decodeoptions- Various parameters related to decodingloader- Optional class loader to use in deserializing classes.- Returns:
- The decoded and deserialized object
- Throws:
NullPointerException- if encodedObject is nullIOException- if there is a general errorClassNotFoundException- if the decoded object is of a class that cannot be found by the JVM- Since:
- 2.3.4
-
encodeToFile
Convenience method for encoding data to a file.As of v 2.3, if there is a error, the method will throw an IOException. This is new to v2.3! In earlier versions, it just returned false, but in retrospect that's a pretty poor way to handle it.
- Parameters:
dataToEncode- byte array of data to encode in base64 formfilename- Filename for saving encoded data- Throws:
IOException- if there is an errorNullPointerException- if dataToEncode is null- Since:
- 2.1
-
decodeToFile
Convenience method for decoding data to a file.As of v 2.3, if there is a error, the method will throw an IOException. This is new to v2.3! In earlier versions, it just returned false, but in retrospect that's a pretty poor way to handle it.
- Parameters:
dataToDecode- Base64-encoded data as a stringfilename- Filename for saving decoded data- Throws:
IOException- if there is an error- Since:
- 2.1
-
decodeFromFile
Convenience method for reading a base64-encoded file and decoding it.As of v 2.3, if there is a error, the method will throw an IOException. This is new to v2.3! In earlier versions, it just returned false, but in retrospect that's a pretty poor way to handle it.
- Parameters:
filename- Filename for reading encoded data- Returns:
- decoded byte array
- Throws:
IOException- if there is an error- Since:
- 2.1
-
encodeFromFile
Convenience method for reading a binary file and base64-encoding it.As of v 2.3, if there is a error, the method will throw an IOException. This is new to v2.3! In earlier versions, it just returned false, but in retrospect that's a pretty poor way to handle it.
- Parameters:
filename- Filename for reading binary data- Returns:
- base64-encoded string
- Throws:
IOException- if there is an error- Since:
- 2.1
-
encodeFileToFile
Reads infile and encodes it to outfile.- Parameters:
infile- Input fileoutfile- Output file- Throws:
IOException- if there is an error- Since:
- 2.2
-
decodeFileToFile
Reads infile and decodes it to outfile.- Parameters:
infile- Input fileoutfile- Output file- Throws:
IOException- if there is an error- Since:
- 2.2
