At the time of Codec's +proposal, there were approximately 34 different Java classes that dealt +with Base64 encoding spread over the Foundation's CVS repository. +Developers in the Jakarta Tomcat project had implemented an original +version of the Base64 codec which had been copied by the Commons +HttpClient and Apache XML project's XML-RPC subproject. After almost one +year, the two forked versions of Base64 had significantly diverged from +one another. XML-RPC had applied numerous fixes and patches which were +not applied to the Commons HttpClient Base64. Different subprojects had +differing implementations at various levels of compliance with the RFC +2045. + +Out of that confusing duplication of effort sprang this simple attempt +to encourage code reuse among various projects. While this package +contains a abstract framework for the creation of encoders and decoders, +Codec itself is primarily focused on providing functional utilities for +working with common encodings. +</longdescription> + <origin>baldeagleos-repo</origin> +</pkgmetadata> |
