Commons Codec Tim O'Brien

Welcome, to Commons Codec. Common Codec is an attempt to provide definitive implementations of commonly used encoders and decoders.

Codec is currently comprised of a modest set of utilities and a simple framework for String encoding and decoding.

org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64 Provides Base64 content-transfer-encoding as defined in RFC 2045. This encoder can optionally create 76 character chunked output for strict adherence to RFC 2045. Production
org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Hex Converts an array of bytes into an array of characters representing the hexidecimal values of each byte in order Production

Codec contains a number of commonly used language and phonetic encoders

org.apache.commons.codec.language.Soundex Implementation of the Soundex algorithm. Production
org.apache.commons.codec.language.Metaphone Implementation of the Metaphone algorithm. Production
