The Apache Commons Codec component contains encoders and decoders for various formats such as Base16, Base32, Base64, digest, and Hexadecimal. In addition to these widely used encoders and decoders, the codec package also maintains a collection of phonetic encoding utilities. This is a port for GWT, which enables program, to use Apache Commons Codec also in the frontend compiled by the gwt compiler to java-script.
