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.

No matter what type of app your using (experiment or not), it's just as simple as creating a single Base64.java file in your utils package using the code here: migbase64.sourceforge.net Look at the performance charts and notice the difference: 4-5 times as fast.javacoder
FYI: JEP 135 proposes to introduce a standard, discoverable API for this in the Java platform.Jesse Glick
Here is yet another implementation I recently through together: github.com/n1hility/playground/blob/master/src/main/java/org/…Jason Greene
Note that if you are developing an Android app, Google has already done this: developer.android.com/reference/android/util/Base64.htmlRaphael Oliveira

As of v6, Java SE ships with JAXB. javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter has static methods that make this easy. See parseBase64Binary() and printBase64Binary().

As of Java 8, there is an officially supported API for Base64 encoding and decoding. In time this will probably become the default choice.

The API includes the class java.util.Base64 and its nested classes. It supports three different flavors: basic, URL safe, and MIME.

Sample code using the "basic" encoding:

import java.util.Base64;

byte[] bytes = "Hello, World!".getBytes("UTF-8");
String encoded = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(bytes);
byte[] decoded = Base64.getDecoder().decode(encoded);

The documentation for java.util.Base64 includes several more methods for configuring encoders and decoders, and for using different classes as inputs and outputs (byte arrays, strings, ByteBuffers, java.io streams).

No need to use commons--Sun ships a base64 encoder with Java. You can import it as such:

import sun.misc.BASE64Decoder;

And then use it like this:

BASE64Decoder decoder = new BASE64Decoder();
byte[] decodedBytes = decoder.decodeBuffer(encodedBytes);

Where encodedBytes is either a java.lang.String or a java.io.InputStream. Just beware that the sun.* classes are not "officially supported" by Sun.

EDIT: Who knew this would be the most controversial answer I'd ever post? I do know that sun.* packages are not supported or guaranteed to continue existing, and I do know about Commons and use it all the time. However, the poster asked for a class that that was "included with Sun Java 6," and that's what I was trying to answer. I agree that Commons is the best way to go in general.

EDIT 2: As amir75 points out below, Java 6+ ships with JAXB, which contains supported code to encode/decode Base64. Please see Jeremy Ross' answer below.

Specifically in Commons Codec: class Base64 to decode(byte[] array) or encode(byte[] array)

Guava now has Base64 decoding built in.

Use BaseEncoding.base64().decode()

As for dealing with possible whitespace in input use

BaseEncoding.base64().decode(CharMatcher.WHITESPACE.removeFrom(...));

See this discussion for more information

My solution is fastest and easiest.

        int a = 0;
        int i=0;
        while(i < size){
            byte b0 = buf[i++];
            byte b1 = (i < size) ? buf[i++] : 0;
            byte b2 = (i < size) ? buf[i++] : 0;

            int mask = 0x3F;
            ar[a++] = ALPHABET[(b0 >> 2) & mask];

        switch(size % 3){
            case 1: ar[--a]  = '=';

        }
        return new String(ar);
    }

        int index = 0;
        for(int i=0; i< s.length(); i+=4){
            int c0 = toInt[s.charAt( i )];
            int c1 = toInt[s.charAt( i + 1)];
            buffer[index++]= (byte)(((c0 << 2) | (c1 >> 4)) & mask);
            if(index >= buffer.length){

As an alternative to sun.misc.BASE64Decoder or non-core libraries, look at javax.mail.internet.MimeUtility.decode().

public static byte[] encode(byte[] b) throws Exception {
    ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    OutputStream b64os = MimeUtility.encode(baos, "base64");
    b64os.write(b);
    b64os.close();
    return baos.toByteArray();
}
public static byte[] decode(byte[] b) throws Exception {
    ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(b);
    InputStream b64is = MimeUtility.decode(bais, "base64");
    byte[] tmp = new byte[b.length];
    int n = b64is.read(tmp);
    byte[] res = new byte[n];
    System.arraycopy(tmp, 0, res, 0, n);
    return res;
}

Another late answer, but my benchmarking shows that Jetty's implementation of Base64 encoder is pretty fast. Not as fast as MiGBase64 but faster than iHarder Base64.

import org.eclipse.jetty.util.B64Code;

final String decoded = B64Code.decode(encoded, "UTF-8");

I also did some benchmarks:

      library     |    encode    |    decode   
------------------+--------------+-------------
 'MiGBase64'      |  10146001.00 |  6426446.00
 'Jetty B64Code'  |   8846191.00 |  3101361.75
 'iHarder Base64' |   3259590.50 |  2505280.00
 'Commons-Codec'  |    241318.04 |   255179.96

These are runs/sec so higher is better.

Given a test encode/decode example of javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter using methods parseBase64Binary() and printBase64Binary() referring to @jeremy-ross and @nightfirecat answer.

@Test
public void EncodeDecode() {
    //ENCODE
    String hello = "Hello World";
    byte[] helloBytes = hello.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
    String encodedHello = DatatypeConverter.printBase64Binary(helloBytes);
    LOGGER.info(hello + " encoded=> " + encodedHello);

    //DECODE
    byte[] encodedHelloBytes = DatatypeConverter.parseBase64Binary(encodedHello);
    String helloAgain = new String(encodedHelloBytes, StandardCharsets.UTF_8) ;
    LOGGER.info(encodedHello + " decoded=> " + helloAgain);

    Assert.assertEquals(hello, helloAgain);
}

Result:

INFO - Hello World encoded=> SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ=
INFO - SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ= decoded=> Hello World

If You are prefering performance based solution then you can use "MiGBase64"

http://migbase64.sourceforge.net/

public class Base64Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    String encodeToString = Base64.encodeToString("JavaTips.net".getBytes(), true);
    System.out.println("encodeToString " + encodeToString);
    byte[] decodedBytes = Base64.decode(encodeToString.getBytes());
    System.out.println("decodedBytes " + new String(decodedBytes));
    }

Using Java 8 -

    public static String encodeString(String plainString) {
        return  Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(plainString.getBytes());
    }

    public static String decodeString(String encodedString) {
        byte[] bytes = Base64.getDecoder().decode(encodedString);
        return new String(bytes);
    }

This is a late answer, but Joshua Bloch committed his Base64 class (when he was working for Sun, ahem, Oracle) under the java.util.prefs package. This class existed since JDK 1.4.

E.g.

String currentString = "Hello World";
String base64String = java.util.prefs.Base64.byteArrayToBase64(currentString.getBytes("UTF-8"));

You can simply try this.

byte[] data = Base64.getDecoder().decode(base64fileContent);

Base64.getDecode() returns a Base64 Decoder that can be decoded. Then you need to decode that again using .decode(<your base64>).

Hope this helps you:

import com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.security.utils.Base64;
String str="Hello World";
String base64_str=Base64.encode(str.getBytes("UTF-8"));

Or:

String str="Hello World";
String base64_str="";
try
   {base64_str=(String)Class.forName("java.util.prefs.Base64").getDeclaredMethod("byteArrayToBase64", new Class[]{byte[].class}).invoke(null, new Object[]{str.getBytes("UTF-8")});
   }
catch (Exception ee) {}

java.util.prefs.Base64 works on local rt.jar,

But it is not in The JRE Class White List

and not in Available classes not listed in the GAE/J white-list

What a pity!

PS. In android, it's easy because that android.util.Base64 has been included since Android API Level 8.

You can write or download file from encoded Base64 string:

Base64 base64 = new Base64(); 
String encodedFile="JVBERi0xLjUKJeLjz9MKMSAwIG9iago8PCAKICAgL1R5cGUgL0NhdGFsb2cKICAgL1BhZ2VzIDIgMCBSCiAgIC9QYWdlTGF5b3V0IC9TaW5"; 
              byte[] dd=encodedFile.getBytes();
            byte[] bytes = Base64.decodeBase64(dd);

 response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=\""+filename+"\"");
            response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
            response.setHeader("Expires", "-1");

            // actually send result bytes
            response.getOutputStream().write(bytes);

Worked for me and hopefully for you also...

The Java 8 implementation of java.util.Base64 has no dependencies on other Java 8 specific classes.

I am not certain if this will work for Java 6 project, but it is possible to copy and paste the Base64.java file into a Java 7 project and compile it with no modification other than importing java.util.Arrays and java.util.Objects.

Note the Base64.java file is covered by the GNU GPL2

In a code compiled with Java 7 but potentially running in a higher java version, it seems useful to detect presence of java.util.Base64 class and use the approach best for given JVM mentioned in other questions here.

I used this code:

private static final Method JAVA_UTIL_BASE64_GETENCODER;

static {
    Method getEncoderMethod;
    try {
        final Class<?> base64Class = Class.forName("java.util.Base64");
        getEncoderMethod = base64Class.getMethod("getEncoder");
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException | NoSuchMethodException e) {
        getEncoderMethod = null;
    }
    JAVA_UTIL_BASE64_GETENCODER = getEncoderMethod;
}

static String base64EncodeToString(String s) {
    final byte[] bytes = s.getBytes(StandardCharsets.ISO_8859_1);
    if (JAVA_UTIL_BASE64_GETENCODER == null) {
        // Java 7 and older // TODO: remove this branch after switching to Java 8
        return DatatypeConverter.printBase64Binary(bytes);
    } else {
        // Java 8 and newer
        try {
            final Object encoder = JAVA_UTIL_BASE64_GETENCODER.invoke(null);
            final Class<?> encoderClass = encoder.getClass();
            final Method encodeMethod = encoderClass.getMethod("encode", byte[].class);
            final byte[] encodedBytes = (byte[]) encodeMethod.invoke(encoder, bytes);
            return new String(encodedBytes);
        } catch (NoSuchMethodException | IllegalAccessException | InvocationTargetException e) {
            throw new IllegalStateException(e);
        }
    }
}
