Decode from Binary Encoding and Append String

Demonstrates how to decode from a binary encoding (base64, hex, url, etc.) and then append the decoded string to a Chilkat StringBuilder object.

Note: This example uses the new DecodeAndAppend method added in Chilkat v9.5.0.87.

Java

import com.chilkatsoft.*;

public class ChilkatExample {

  static {
    try {
        System.loadLibrary("chilkat");
    } catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError e) {
      System.err.println("Native code library failed to load.\n" + e);
      System.exit(1);
    }
  }

  public static void main(String argv[])
  {
    boolean success = false;

    //  We have the string "MÆRSK" in two forms:

    //  This is the URL encoding of the windows-1252 representation.
    String nameWindows1252UrlEncoded = "M%C6RSK";

    //  This is the URL encoding of the utf-8 representation.
    String nameUtf8UrlEncoded = "M%C3%86RSK";

    //  Note that the result of loading a string into a string object 
    //  is the same if we correctly specify the underlying charset encoding.
    //  In the above example, we have the same string, but in different charset encodings
    //  subsequently URL encoded.
    CkStringBuilder sb1 = new CkStringBuilder();
    success = sb1.DecodeAndAppend(nameWindows1252UrlEncoded,"url","windows-1252");

    CkStringBuilder sb2 = new CkStringBuilder();
    success = sb2.DecodeAndAppend(nameUtf8UrlEncoded,"url","utf-8");

    //  sb1 and sb2 both hold the same string.
    boolean bEqual = sb1.ContentsEqualSb(sb2,true);
    System.out.println("bEqual = " + bEqual);

    //  We can see the string is "MÆRSK" in both cases.
    System.out.println(sb1.getAsString());
    System.out.println(sb2.getAsString());
  }
