022/**
023 * Provides Base64 encoding and decoding in a streaming fashion (unlimited size). When encoding the default lineLength
024 * is 76 characters and the default lineEnding is CRLF, but these can be overridden by using the appropriate
025 * constructor.
026 * <p>
027 * The default behaviour of the Base64InputStream is to DECODE, whereas the default behaviour of the Base64OutputStream
028 * is to ENCODE, but this behaviour can be overridden by using a different constructor.
029 * </p>
030 * <p>
031 * This class implements section <cite>6.8. Base64 Content-Transfer-Encoding</cite> from RFC 2045 <cite>Multipurpose
032 * Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) Part One: Format of Internet Message Bodies</cite> by Freed and Borenstein.
033 * </p>
034 * <p>
035 * Since this class operates directly on byte streams, and not character streams, it is hard-coded to only encode/decode
036 * character encodings which are compatible with the lower 127 ASCII chart (ISO-8859-1, Windows-1252, UTF-8, etc).
037 * </p>
