Answer 1

Base64 encoding is part of the JDK since Java 8. URL safe encoding is also supported with java.util.Base64.getUrlEncoder(), and the "=" padding can be skipped by additionally using the java.util.Base64.Encoder.withoutPadding() method:

import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;
import java.util.Base64;

public String encode(String raw) {
    return Base64.getUrlEncoder()
            .withoutPadding()
            .encodeToString(raw.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
}
