| BCodec |
Identical to the Base64 encoding defined by RFC
1521 and allows a character set to be specified. |
| Base64 |
Provides Base64 encoding and decoding as defined by RFC 2045. |
| BinaryCodec |
Translates between byte arrays and strings of "0"s and "1"s. |
| BinaryEncoder |
Defines common encoding methods for byte array encoders. |
| Caverphone |
Encodes a string into a Caverphone value. |
| DoubleMetaphone |
Encodes a string into a double metaphone value. |
| Hex |
Hex encoder and decoder. |
| Metaphone |
Encodes a string into a metaphone value. |
| QCodec |
Similar to the Quoted-Printable content-transfer-encoding defined in RFC 1521 and designed to allow text containing mostly ASCII
characters to be decipherable on an ASCII terminal without decoding. |
| QuotedPrintableCodec |
Codec for the Quoted-Printable section of RFC 1521 . |
| RefinedSoundex |
Encodes a string into a Refined Soundex value. |
| Soundex |
Encodes a string into a Soundex value. |
| StringEncoder |
Encodes a String into a String. |
| URLCodec |
Implements the 'www-form-urlencoded' encoding scheme,
also misleadingly known as URL encoding. |
|
Class Overview
Provides the highest level of abstraction for Encoders.
This is the sister interface of Decoder. Every implementation of
Encoder provides this common generic interface whic allows a user to pass a
generic Object to any Encoder implementation in the codec package.

abstract
Object
encode
(Object pObject)
Encodes an "Object" and returns the encoded content
as an Object. The Objects here may just be byte[]
or Strings depending on the implementation used.
Parameters
| pObject
| An object ot encode |
Throws
| EncoderException
| an encoder exception is
thrown if the encoder experiences a failure
condition during the encoding process.
