Class BCodec

java.lang.Object

tech.gusavila92.apache.commons.codec.net.BCodec

All Implemented Interfaces:

Decoder, Encoder, StringDecoder, StringEncoder

public class BCodec
extends java.lang.Object
implements StringEncoder, StringDecoder

Identical to the Base64 encoding defined by RFC 1521 and allows a character set to be specified.

RFC 1522 describes techniques to allow the encoding of non-ASCII text in various portions of a RFC 822 [2] message header, in a manner which is unlikely to confuse existing message handling software.

This class is immutable and thread-safe.

Since:

1.3
