I would like to know if anyone has experience using the following two APIs for Base64 handling on Java (with links to the respective Javadoc):
Both of these classes seem to acheive the same goals. However, I was wondering which one would be the best choice to use, and why. Or maybe there is a better Java class to use for Base 64 handling. I am using JAVA SE 6. Thank you for the help.
I use Base64Coder, it is a stand-alone class with no dependencies that I easily adapted to my needs. It is available at http://www.source-code.biz/base64coder/java .
In my understanding, the libraries you mention are quite big. It may not be worth adding them if you just need Base64.
