Class Base64Utils

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.util.Base64Utils

public abstract class Base64Utils
extends Object

A simple utility class for Base64 encoding and decoding.

Adapts to either Java 8's Base64 class or Apache Commons Codec's Base64 class. With neither Java 8 nor Commons Codec present, encode(byte[])/decode(byte[]) calls will throw an IllegalStateException. However, as of Spring 4.2, encodeToString(byte[]) and decodeFromString(java.lang.String) will nevertheless work since they can delegate to the JAXB DatatypeConverter as a fallback. However, this does not apply when using the ...UrlSafe... methods for RFC 4648 "URL and Filename Safe Alphabet"; a delegate is required.

Note: Apache Commons Codec does not add padding (=) when encoding with the URL and Filename Safe Alphabet.

Since:

4.1

Method Detail

encode

public static byte[] encode(byte[] src)

Base64-encode the given byte array.

Parameters:

src - the original byte array (may be null)

Returns:

the encoded byte array (or null if the input was null)

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if Base64 encoding between byte arrays is not supported, i.e. neither Java 8 nor Apache Commons Codec is present at runtime

decode

public static byte[] decode(byte[] src)

Base64-decode the given byte array.

Parameters:

src - the encoded byte array (may be null)

Returns:

the original byte array (or null if the input was null)

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if Base64 encoding between byte arrays is not supported, i.e. neither Java 8 nor Apache Commons Codec is present at runtime

encodeUrlSafe

public static byte[] encodeUrlSafe(byte[] src)

Base64-encode the given byte array using the RFC 4868 "URL and Filename Safe Alphabet".

Parameters:

src - the original byte array (may be null)

Returns:

the encoded byte array (or null if the input was null)

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if Base64 encoding between byte arrays is not supported, i.e. neither Java 8 nor Apache Commons Codec is present at runtime

Since:

4.2.4

decodeUrlSafe

public static byte[] decodeUrlSafe(byte[] src)

Base64-decode the given byte array using the RFC 4868 "URL and Filename Safe Alphabet".

Parameters:

src - the encoded byte array (may be null)

Returns:

the original byte array (or null if the input was null)

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if Base64 encoding between byte arrays is not supported, i.e. neither Java 8 nor Apache Commons Codec is present at runtime

Since:

4.2.4

encodeToString

public static String encodeToString(byte[] src)

Base64-encode the given byte array to a String.

Parameters:

src - the original byte array (may be null)

Returns:

the encoded byte array as a UTF-8 String (or null if the input was null)

decodeFromString

public static byte[] decodeFromString(String src)

Base64-decode the given byte array from an UTF-8 String.

Parameters:

src - the encoded UTF-8 String (may be null)

Returns:

the original byte array (or null if the input was null)

encodeToUrlSafeString

public static String encodeToUrlSafeString(byte[] src)

Base64-encode the given byte array to a String using the RFC 4868 "URL and Filename Safe Alphabet".

Parameters:

src - the original byte array (may be null)

Returns:

the encoded byte array as a UTF-8 String (or null if the input was null)

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if Base64 encoding between byte arrays is not supported, i.e. neither Java 8 nor Apache Commons Codec is present at runtime

decodeFromUrlSafeString

public static byte[] decodeFromUrlSafeString(String src)

Base64-decode the given byte array from an UTF-8 String using the RFC 4868 "URL and Filename Safe Alphabet".

Parameters:

src - the encoded UTF-8 String (may be null)
