Method Detail

encode

public static String encode(String target)

Deprecated. as of 4.5, to be removed in 8.0 or later. Replaced with Base64Utils.encode(String).

Encodes a string to Base 64. It is not Unicode safe.

Parameters:

target - String to be encoded

Returns:

Base 64-encoded string, the empty string for an empty string input, or null for a null input.

decode

public static String decode(String encodedString)

Deprecated. as of 4.5, to be removed in 8.0 or later. Replaced with Base64Utils.decode(String).

Decodes a Base 64-encoded string. It is not Unicode safe.

Parameters:

encodedString - String to be decoded

Returns:

Decoded string, the empty string for an empty string input, or null for a null input.

encode

public static String encode(byte[] raw)

Deprecated. as of 4.5, to be removed in 8.0 or later. Replaced with Base64Utils.encode(byte[]).

Encodes a byte array to Base 64.

Parameters:

raw - Byte array to be encoded

Returns:

Base 64-encoded string, the empty string for an empty array input, or null for a null input.

encodeBlock

protected static char[] encodeBlock(byte[] raw,
                                    int offset)

Deprecated.

getChar

protected static char getChar(int sixbit)

Deprecated.

decodeGetBytes

public static byte[] decodeGetBytes(String base64)

Deprecated. as of 4.5, to be removed in 8.0 or later. Replaced with Base64Utils.decodeGetBytes(String).

Decodes a Base 64-encoded byte array.

Parameters:

base64 - Byte array to be decoded

Returns:

Decoded array, or null for null input, an empty array input, or certain forms of badly formatted input.

getValue

protected static int getValue(char c)

Deprecated.

String2Object

public static Object String2Object(String s)

Deprecated. as of 4.5, to be removed in 8.0 or later. No replacement.

Decodes a Base 64-encoded string and converts the resulting byte array to an object.

Parameters:

s - Base 64-encoded string of the byte array representing a serialized object

Returns:

Object resulting from decoding the string, or null for null or invalid input.
