All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable
```
public final class Base64Variant
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable
```
Class used to define specific details of which variant of Base64 encoding/decoding is to be used. Although there is somewhat standard basic version (so-called "MIME Base64"), other variants exists, see Base64 Wikipedia entry for details.

    Parameters:
    
    input -
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if input is not valid base64 encoded data

            throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
```
    Convenience method for decoding contents of a Base64-encoded String, using this variant's settings and appending decoded binary data using provided ByteArrayBuilder.
    NOTE: builder will NOT be reset before decoding (nor cleared afterwards); assumption is that caller will ensure it is given in proper state, and used as appropriate afterwards.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if input is not valid base64 encoded data
    
    Since:
