/**
 * Base64Helper exists to bridge inconsistencies in Java SE support of Base64 encoding and decoding.
 * Earlier Java SE platforms (up to and including Java SE 8) supported base64 encode/decode via the
 * javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter class, which was deprecated and eventually removed in Java SE 9.
 * Later Java SE platforms (Java SE 8 and later) support base64 encode/decode via the
 * java.util.Base64 class (first introduced in Java SE 8, and not available on e.g. Java SE 6 or 7).
 *
 * This makes it "hard" to write a single piece of source code that deals with base64 encodings and
 * will compile and run on e.g. Java SE 7 AND Java SE 9. And such common source is a common need for
 * libraries. This class is intended to encapsulate this "hard"-ness and hide the ugly pretzle-twising
 * needed under the covers.
 *
 * Base64Helper provides a common API that works across Java SE 6..9 (and beyond hopefully), and
 * uses late binding (Reflection) internally to avoid javac-compile-time dependencies on a specific
 * Java SE version (e.g. beyond 7 or before 9).
