Java 8 added java.util.Base64 to the standard library. Three Encoders // Standard Base64 (RFC 4648) Base64.Encoder encoder = Base64.getEncoder(); Base64.Decoder decoder = Base64.getDecoder(); // URL-safe Base64 (replaces + with -, / with _) — safe in URLs and filenames Base64.Encoder urlEncoder = Base64.getUrlEncoder(); Base64.Decoder urlDecoder = Base64.getUrlDecoder(); // MIME Base64 (line-wrapped at 76 chars with CRLF — for email) Base64.
