Java8 Lambda Encoder & Decoder
Encoding is the process of putting a sequence of characters into a specialized format for efficient transmission or storage.
Decoding is the opposite process -- the conversion of an encoded format back into the original sequence of characters.
The encoded string is safe to be transferred over network supporting text data without fear of losing data in confusion of control characters.
Base64 Before Java8 For many years, java has provided support for base 64 via a non-public class java.util.prefs.Base64 an undocumented class sun.misc.BASE64Encoder. This class has also very limited information.
Base64 In Java8 Java 8 has added a class for Base 64 encoding and decoding purpose i.e. java.util.Base64. We will the code examples below for using it.
Creating Program in Java8(Lambda) for Encoder & Decoder
Follow the below steps to write program with java8(Lambda).
Step-1 Create a package Base64EncoderandDecoder under sources package. Then create the Java class Base64Demo.java. Once you are ready then write the code as shown below.
Output Base64Demo.java
Download example and run it on Netbeans IDE
