I have an image that is Base64 encoded. What is the best way to decode that in Java? Hopefully using only the libraries included with Sun Java 6.

As of v6, Java SE ships with JAXB.
javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverterhas static methods that make this easy. SeeparseBase64Binary()andprintBase64Binary().UPDATE: JAXB is no longer shipped with Java (since Java 11). If JAXB is required for your project, you will need to configure the relevant libraries via your dependency management system, for example Maven. If you require the compiler (
xjc.exe) you also need to download that separately.
