Method Detail

decodeNoPadding

public static byte[] decodeNoPadding(String data)
                              throws IllegalArgumentException

Note: this function does not process stricly compliant Base64 code. To process strictly compliant Base64 encoded strings, use encode and decode functions with padding

Decodes a Base64 encoded string back into its original binary format. The only difference from decode is that this function will bad the end with as many ='s as necessary to make things work properly.

Parameters:

data - the Base64 encoded string

Returns:

the byte array of the original data.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the input data is null or zero bytes.

encodeNoPadding

public static String encodeNoPadding(byte[] inBuffer)
                              throws IllegalArgumentException

Note: this function does not process stricly compliant Base64 code. To process strictly compliant Base64 encoded strings, use encode and decode functions with padding

Encodes a binary bite array into Base64 coding. The difference between this and the other encode function, is that this function strips all padding from the final result before returning

Returns:

a string that is the Base64 equiv of the input data without padding characters

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the input data is null or zero bytes.
