Out of memory when encoding file to base64

Question

Using Base64 from Apache commons

public byte[] encode(File file) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
        byte[] encoded;
        try (FileInputSt         


        

Answer 1

Java 8 added Base64 methods, so Apache Commons is no longer needed to encode large files.

public static void encodeFileToBase64(String inputFile, String outputFile) {
    try (OutputStream out = Base64.getEncoder().wrap(new FileOutputStream(outputFile))) {
        Files.copy(Paths.get(inputFile), out);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        throw new UncheckedIOException(e);
    }
}
