22  /**
23   * Provides Base64 encoding and decoding in a streaming fashion (unlimited size). When encoding the default lineLength
24   * is 76 characters and the default lineEnding is CRLF, but these can be overridden by using the appropriate
25   * constructor.
26   * <p>
27   * The default behaviour of the Base64OutputStream is to ENCODE, whereas the default behaviour of the Base64InputStream
28   * is to DECODE. But this behaviour can be overridden by using a different constructor.

31   * This class implements section <cite>6.8. Base64 Content-Transfer-Encoding</cite> from RFC 2045 <cite>Multipurpose
32   * Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) Part One: Format of Internet Message Bodies</cite> by Freed and Borenstein.
33   * </p>
34   * <p>
35   * Since this class operates directly on byte streams, and not character streams, it is hard-coded to only encode/decode
36   * character encodings which are compatible with the lower 127 ASCII chart (ISO-8859-1, Windows-1252, UTF-8, etc).
37   * </p>
38   * <p>
39   * <b>Note:</b> It is mandatory to close the stream after the last byte has been written to it, otherwise the
40   * final padding will be omitted and the resulting data will be incomplete/inconsistent.
