OutOfMemory when creating Base64 string in java?

Question

I used ostermillerutils library to create base64 string but I get OutOfMemory error if the image is heavy. If the image I try to convert is a simple image, the code is working f

Answer 1

From Java 8 onwards, there is a simple way to implement base64 encoding in an output stream with one line of code and no external dependencies:

   import java.util.Base64;

   OutputStream os = ...
   OutputStream base64 = Base64.getEncoder().wrap(os);

Base64 also provides other flavors of base64 encoder; see javadocs:

• Base64
• Base64.Encoder.wrap
