<section name="Proposal for Codec Package"><br/>

<h4>January 24, 2002</h4>

<subsection name="(0) Rationale">
16+
<p>
17+
Many software projects have a need to use various formats of data,
18+
and to be able to switch between various formats. The codec package
19+
seeks to encapsulate some of the most popular encode/decode
20+
algorithms in one easy to use, well tested package. A base64 codec
21+
is the first candidate, with others to follow soon.
22+
</p>
23+
24+
</subsection>
25+
<subsection name="(1) Scope of the Package">
26+
<p>
27+
This proposal is to create a package of Java utility classes for the
28+
encoding/decoding of various types of data. A base64 codec will be the
29+
first implementation.
30+
</p>
31+
32+
</subsection>
33+
<subsection name="(1.5) Interaction With Other Packages">
34+
35+
<p>
36+
<em>Codec</em> relies only on standard JDK 1.2 (or later) APIs for
37+
production deployment. It utilizes the JUnit unit testing framework for
38+
developing and executing unit tests, but this is of interest only to
39+
developers of the component. Codec will be a dependency for
40+
several existing components in the open source world.
41+
</p>
42+
43+
<p>No external configuration files are utilized.</p>
44+
45+
</subsection>
46+
<subsection name="(2) Initial Source of the Package">
47+
48+
<p>
49+
The original Java classes (<code>Base64</code>, etc.) are splashed around
50+
various Apache subprojects. We intend to seek them out and integrate them.
51+
</p>
52+
53+
<p>
54+
The proposed package name for the new component is
55+
<code>org.apache.commons.codec</code>.
56+
</p>
57+
58+
</subsection>
59+
<subsection name="(3) Required Jakarta-Commons Resources">
60+
61+
<ul>
62+
<li>
63+
CVS Repository - New directory <code>codec</code> in the
64+
<code>jakarta-commons</code> CVS repository.
65+
</li>
66+
<li>
67+
Mailing List - Discussions will take place on the general
68+
<em>commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org</em> mailing list. To help
69+
list subscribers identify messages of interest, it is suggested that
70+
the message subject of messages about this component be prefixed with
71+
[Codec].
72+
</li>
73+
<li>
74+
Bugzilla - New component "Codec" under the "Commons" product
75+
category, with appropriate version identifiers as needed.
76+
</li>
77+
</ul>
78+
79+
</subsection>
