Can we apply base 64 encoding in java and decode to get the same string using javascript ?
I need to do this to include three separate xml file in a single xml file, three of them being base64 encoded.

1Sure, Base64 is widely supported everywhere, and it not at all difficult to implement yourself. – Sergio Tulentsev Jan 16 '12 at 09:23

Yes. You can use Base 64 encoding in multiple languages. See Decode Base64 data in Java

if we encode the string "abcd" using java and send it to javascript, will the javascript get back the same string after decoding it ? – Acn Jan 16 '12 at 09:51

Yes. Base64 is implemented the same way. Encoding strings in Base64 makes no sense. Base64 is meant to encode binary data (e.g images) as text. – Piotr Gwiazda Jan 16 '12 at 14:06

True, however there's a case for encoding a string. eg if you are using json in your applications but you need to process external messages that are using a different format. – kimathie Nov 29 '21 at 05:29
