    - #### encode

          public static String encode(javax.activation.DataHandler dh)
                               throws IOException

      Get a base64 representation of the content of a given `DataHandler` as a string. This method will try to carry out the encoding operation in the most efficient way.
      Parameters:
        `dh` - the data handler with the content to encode
      Returns:
        the base64 encoded content
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs when reading the content of the data handler

    - #### encodeToCharArray

          public static char[] encodeToCharArray(javax.activation.DataHandler dh)
                                          throws IOException

      Get a base64 representation of the content of a given `DataHandler` as a char array. This method will try to carry out the encoding operation in the most efficient way.
      Parameters:
        `dh` - the data handler with the content to encode
      Returns:
        the base64 encoded content
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs when reading the content of the data handler

    - #### decode

          public static byte[] decode(char[] data,
                                      int off,
                                      int len)

      Deprecated.

    - #### decode

          public static byte[] decode(String data)

      Decodes a base64 encoded string into a byte array. This method is designed to conform to the XML Schema specification. It can be used to decode the text content of an element (or the value of an attribute) of type `base64Binary`.
      Parameters:
        `data` - the base64 encoded data
      Returns:
        the decoded data

    - #### isValidBase64Encoding

          public static boolean isValidBase64Encoding(String data)

      Deprecated.
