A Java implementation of https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-multiformats-multibase-06.html

Java Multibase

This is a Java implementation of the IETF Multibase standard. The standard is currently in draft status. More information: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-multiformats-multibase-06.html

Current status

Note, this library is still under development. Currently supported data formats are:

• Base64
• Base64URL
• Base58
• Hexadecimal
• Octal
• Binary

Usage

The Multiformat uses a somewhat similar interface as the JDK Base64 class. The different encoding and decoding formats are encapsulated in the Multibase enum.

JDK Base64:

Base64.getEncoder().encode("test".getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));

Multibase Base64:

Multibase.BASE64.getEncoder().encode("test".getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));

Multibase HEX:

String testHexStr = "f466f6f";
byte[] decodedByteArr = Multibase.HEX.getDecoder().decode(testHexStr);
