Class QuotedPrintableCodec

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.apache.commons.codec.net.QuotedPrintableCodec
All Implemented Interfaces:
BinaryDecoder, BinaryEncoder, Decoder, Encoder, StringDecoder, StringEncoder
public class QuotedPrintableCodec
extends Object
implements BinaryEncoder, BinaryDecoder, StringEncoder, StringDecoder

Codec for the Quoted-Printable section of RFC 1521.

The Quoted-Printable encoding is intended to represent data that largely consists of octets that correspond to printable characters in the ASCII character set. It encodes the data in such a way that the resulting octets are unlikely to be modified by mail transport. If the data being encoded are mostly ASCII text, the encoded form of the data remains largely recognizable by humans. A body which is entirely ASCII may also be encoded in Quoted-Printable to ensure the integrity of the data should the message pass through a character- translating, and/or line-wrapping gateway.

Note:

Rules #3, #4, and #5 of the quoted-printable spec are not implemented yet because the complete quoted-printable spec does not lend itself well into the byte[] oriented codec framework. Complete the codec once the streamable codec framework is ready. The motivation behind providing the codec in a partial form is that it can already come in handy for those applications that do not require quoted-printable line formatting (rules #3, #4, #5), for instance Q codec.

This class is immutable and thread-safe.
