Class Base64Variant

java.lang.Object

com.fasterxml.jackson.core.Base64Variant

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public final class Base64Variant
extends Object
implements Serializable

Abstract base class used to define specific details of which variant of Base64 encoding/decoding is to be used. Although there is somewhat standard basic version (so-called "MIME Base64"), other variants exists, see Base64 Wikipedia entry for details.

Fields

Modifier and Type	Field and Description
protected int	_maxLineLength Maximum number of encoded base64 characters to output during encoding before adding a linefeed, if line length is to be limited (Integer.MAX_VALUE if not limited).
protected String	_name Symbolic name of variant; used for diagnostics/debugging.
protected char	_paddingChar Characted used for padding, if any (PADDING_CHAR_NONE if not).
protected boolean	_usesPadding Whether this variant uses padding or not.

static int	BASE64_VALUE_PADDING Marker used to denote ascii character (in decoding table) that is the padding character using this variant (if any).

Constructors

Constructor and Description

Field Detail

BASE64_VALUE_INVALID

public static final int BASE64_VALUE_INVALID

Marker used to denote ascii characters that do not correspond to a 6-bit value (in this variant), and is not used as a padding character.

Constant Field Values

BASE64_VALUE_PADDING

public static final int BASE64_VALUE_PADDING

Marker used to denote ascii character (in decoding table) that is the padding character using this variant (if any).

See Also:

Constant Field Values

_name

protected final String _name

Symbolic name of variant; used for diagnostics/debugging.

Note that this is the only non-transient field; used when reading back from serialized state

_usesPadding

protected final transient boolean _usesPadding

Whether this variant uses padding or not.

_paddingChar

protected final transient char _paddingChar

Characted used for padding, if any (PADDING_CHAR_NONE if not).

_maxLineLength

protected final transient int _maxLineLength

Maximum number of encoded base64 characters to output during encoding before adding a linefeed, if line length is to be limited (Integer.MAX_VALUE if not limited).

Note: for some output modes (when writing attributes) linefeeds may need to be avoided, and this value ignored.

Constructor Detail

Base64Variant

public Base64Variant(String name,
             String base64Alphabet,
             boolean usesPadding,
             char paddingChar,

Base64Variant

public Base64Variant(Base64Variant base,
             String name,
             int maxLineLength)

"Copy constructor" that can be used when the base alphabet is identical to one used by another variant except for the maximum line length (and obviously, name).

Base64Variant

public Base64Variant(Base64Variant base,
             String name,
             boolean usesPadding,
             char paddingChar,
             int maxLineLength)

Method Detail

readResolve

protected Object readResolve()

public int encodeBase64Partial(int bits,
                      int outputBytes,

Method that outputs partial chunk (which only encodes one or two bytes of data). Data given is still aligned same as if it as full data; that is, missing data is at the "right end" (LSB) of int.

Parameters:
