I've been trying to figure out using GZIPOutputStream's and the like but have had no success with understanding them. All I want to do is convert a string of characters - "A string of characters" into a GZIP Base64 format. How can I do this?
EDIT:
By GZIP Base64 format, I mean the string is first compressed using GZIP, then converted into Base64
解决方案
Here's a sample class:
import java.util.zip.GZIPOutputStream;
import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64OutputStream;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String text = "a string of characters";
try {
Base64OutputStream b64os = new Base64OutputStream(System.out);
GZIPOutputStream gzip = new GZIPOutputStream(b64os);
gzip.write(text.getBytes("UTF-8"));
gzip.close();
b64os.close();
} catch (Throwable t) {
t.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Which outputs:
H4sIAAAAAAAAAEtUKC4pysxLV8hPU0jOSCxKTC5JLSoGAOP+cfkWAAAA
Under Linux, you can confirm this works with:
echo 'H4sIAAAAAAAAAEtUKC4pysxLV8hPU0jOSCxKTC5JLSoGAOP+cfkWAAAA' | base64 -d | gunzip
(Please note that on OSX, you should use base64 -D instead of base64 -d in the above command)
Which outputs:
a string of characters
