Class Base64Converter

java.lang.Object
  org.ceryle.util.Base64Converter

public class Base64Converter
extends Object

A utility class that converts a long to an base 64 number (returned as a String). The hashCode() of a String is a long; each long has a unique base 64 conversion.

This is compatible with the "URL and Filename safe" Base 64 alphabet, Table 2 of RFC 3548 (notably not compatible with the last two characters of PEM or MIME); also see Wikipedia's Base 64 page. This uses A-Z, a-z, 0-9, '-' and '_' as the encoding scheme.
