lxg776 / base64-1 Goto Github PK

Base64 codec. works well for small files and strings (due to internal array buffers) and well tested. Pretty quick. Room for improvement in future release, which will allow it to stream very large files.

Relies on no library except core java. Compiled up to Java 1.5 language level so will work for 1.5 upwards. base64 is licensed with a BSD3 licence see the included LICENSE file for details.

The 'base64' code is ready for use, for small files or Strings. A future release will add streaming to make it suitable for large files and improve its efficiency.

Thanks to Tom Daley who posted the Base64 encode algorithm at http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javatips/jw-javatip36-p2.html which helped me to create the decoder.
