- Method Detail
  - encode
```
public static char[] encode(byte[] data)
```
    returns an array of base64-encoded characters to represent the passed data array.
    
    Parameters:
    
    data - the array of bytes to encode
    
    Returns:
    
    base64-coded character array.
  - decode
```
public static byte[] decode(char[] data)
```
    Decodes a BASE-64 encoded stream to recover the original data. White space before and after will be trimmed away, but no other manipulation of the input will be performed.
    As of version 1.2 this method will properly handle input containing junk characters (newlines and the like) rather than throwing an error. It does this by pre-parsing the input and generating from that a count of VALID input characters.
    
    Parameters:
    
    data - the character data.
    
    Returns:
    
    The decoded data.
