Decoding a Base64 string in Java

Question

I\'m trying to decode a simple Base64 string, but am unable to do so. I\'m currently using the org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64 package.

The test

Answer 1

The following should work with the latest version of Apache common codec

byte[] decodedBytes = Base64.getDecoder().decode("YWJjZGVmZw==");
System.out.println(new String(decodedBytes));

and for encoding

byte[] encodedBytes = Base64.getEncoder().encode(decodedBytes);
System.out.println(new String(encodedBytes));
