Java includes an undocumented class, sun.misc.BASE64Encoder, for handling Base64 encoding. The following gives an example of its usage.

byte[] bytes = getBytesFromSomewhere();

// Create encoder

BASE64Encoder encoder = new BASE64Encoder();

// Create encoded string from supplied byte array

String encoded = encoder.encode(bytes);

There are lots of other encoders available if you don’t want to use that one.
