The Apache Commons Codec package contains simple encoder and decoders for various formats such as Base64 and Hexadecimal. In addition to these widely used encoders and decoders, the codec package also maintains a collection of phonetic encoding utilities.

There is a newer version: 20041127.091804

/**
 * Provides Base64 encoding and decoding in a streaming fashion (unlimited size). When encoding the default lineLength
 * is 76 characters and the default lineEnding is CRLF, but these can be overridden by using the appropriate
 * constructor.
 * 
 * The default behaviour of the Base64InputStream is to DECODE, whereas the default behaviour of the Base64OutputStream
 * is to ENCODE, but this behaviour can be overridden by using a different constructor.
 * 
 * 
 * This class implements section 6.8. Base64 Content-Transfer-Encoding from RFC 2045 Multipurpose
 * Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) Part One: Format of Internet Message Bodies by Freed and Borenstein.
 * 
 * 
 * Since this class operates directly on byte streams, and not character streams, it is hard-coded to only encode/decode
 * character encodings which are compatible with the lower 127 ASCII chart (ISO-8859-1, Windows-1252, UTF-8, etc).
 * 
 *
 * @version $Id$
 * @see RFC 2045
 * @since 1.4
