Demonstrates how to convert a string from one encoding to another. Java

        System.loadLibrary("chilkat");
    } catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError e) {

    // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    CkCrypt2 crypt = new CkCrypt2();

    // Here are some bytes as a hex string
    String hex = "4142434445462140232425";

    // The ReEncode method converts a string from one encoding to another.
    // Valid encodings are "url", "base64", "qp", "hex", "modbase64", "base64url", "base32", "base58",
    // and any of the encodings listed here:  http://cknotes.com/chilkat-binary-encoding-list

    // Convert from hex to base64
    String b64 = crypt.reEncode(hex,"hex","base64");
    System.out.println("base64: " + b64);

    // Convert from base64 to base32
    String b32 = crypt.reEncode(b64,"base64","base32");
    System.out.println("base32: " + b32);

    // Convert from base32 back to hex
    hex = crypt.reEncode(b32,"base32","hex");
    System.out.println("hex: " + hex);
  }
