Class Base64

java.lang.Object

io.spokestack.spokestack.util.Base64

public final class Base64
extends Object

A simple Base64 encoding class that only supports the operations needed by Spokestack. This custom implementation exists to maintain both backwards compatibility and testability for Spokestack: Base64 was only introduced in Java 8 and is unavailable for older Android API versions. Using the Android variant makes Base64 encoding, thus, request signing untestable since the Base64 encoding method would have to be mocked.

public static String encode(byte[] bytes)

Encode a byte array into a Base64-encoded UTF-8 string.

The implementation is adapted from OpenJDK's Base64.Encoder. It does not support:

• URL-safe Base64
• line breaks in the encoded string
• Base64 without padding

Parameters:

bytes - The byte array to encode.

Returns:

A Base64-encoded string.
