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.

Chilkat2 Java

import com.chilkatsoft.chilkat2.StringBuilder;

public class ChilkatExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // 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.
        StringBuilder sb1 = new StringBuilder();
        sb1.decodeAndAppend(nameWindows1252UrlEncoded, "url", "windows-1252");

        StringBuilder sb2 = new StringBuilder();
        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());
    }
