Decode Base64 data in Java

Question

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.

Answer 1

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()"
