Base64 Encoding With JDK 1.6+ And Java 8 📎
The method: javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter#printBase64Binary(byte[]) encodes a byte[] into a Base64 encoded string.
To encode a String with JDK 1.6+ use the static method printBase64Binary:
String encodedDuke = DatatypeConverter.printBase64Binary("duke".getBytes("UTF-8"));
Java 8 comes with the java.util.Base64 class entirely dedicated to Basic, URL, Filenames and MIMEs encoding and decoding.
