I'm trying to use a basic64 encoding in my Java program.

The problem is that when I use

new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode("my string".getBytes())

I receive the base 64 string with \n and \r. I don't know how avoid this because when I write that string in a text File I get the following

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
yyyy

where the next line is produced by \n and \r.

I tried using a replace("\n","\n") and the same for \r but I want to know if there is a better solution or an extra parameter that I could use in Base64 encoding (or even other tipe of encoding.)

I changed the library and it is working!

here is the difference

Weird... I thought that Base64 was a standard...

Why Developers Should Not Write Programs That Call 'sun' Packages

The sun.* packages are not part of the supported, public interface. A Java program that directly calls into sun.* packages is not guaranteed to work on all Java-compatible platforms. In fact, such a program is not guaranteed to work even in future versions on the same platform.

Consider this:

probably somthing like this:

import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64;

  • But if I change the library the problem will be resolved? I mean, I will not have anymore \n and \r in my encoded String? – UserMan Oct 28 '15 at 12:36
  • I think it will be resolved, since sun library is chunking the output, hence the carriage return symbol that is not a part of the base64 table. – Roman Pustylnikov Oct 28 '15 at 12:44
  • yep, It worked, here is the difference Q0FTSCNTVUJJUiMzNWYwMjFiMC1kZWRjLTRmZjgtYjNjMS0wZDY0NmVkMjFmOGUjMjAzMzU1MzczMzY= [VS] FWmsMAID7Ecbf8gUd0WIvKBjJNXhtMCbcKVDW0R4KXY/e1Do8lItqDN4NH/RiBdckoIMeFrncJ5X Fju7R0cX822I/lFSkLab – UserMan Nov 23 '15 at 21:43
