Java Encode file to Base64 string To match with other encoded string

private static String encodeFileToBase64Binary(String fileName)
        throws IOException {

    File file = new File(fileName);
    byte[] bytes = loadFile(file);
    byte[] encoded = Base64.encodeBase64(bytes);
    String encodedString = new String(encoded,StandardCharsets.US_ASCII);

    return encodedString;
}
private static byte[] loadFile(File file) throws IOException {
    InputStream is = new FileInputStream(file);

    long length = file.length();
    if (length > Integer.MAX_VALUE) {
        // File is too large
    }
    byte[] bytes = new byte[(int)length];

    int offset = 0;
    int numRead = 0;
    while (offset < bytes.length
           && (numRead=is.read(bytes, offset, bytes.length-offset)) >= 0) {
        offset += numRead;
    }

    if (offset < bytes.length) {
        throw new IOException("Could not completely read file "+file.getName());
    }

    is.close();
    return bytes;
}

// to get encode string

String encoded=encodeFileToBase64Binary("file.fmr");

// encoded string is :

When i am trying to match both the encoded string , i am getting a missmatch. please suggest method for encode file to base64 to match encoded string found from other source. i have tried with StandardCharsets.UTF_8 and StandardCharsets.US_ASCII.

Here is a solution without any required dependencies (Apacha et al.) requiring only JDK 8+:

import java.util.Base64;
import java.nio.file.Files;

private static String encodeFileToBase64(File file) {
    try {
        byte[] fileContent = Files.readAllBytes(file.toPath());
        return Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(fileContent);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        throw new IllegalStateException("could not read file " + file, e);
    }
}

You already using apache commons-codec so I recommend adding commons-io for reading the file. That way you can remove your loadFile() method and just have:

private static String encodeFileToBase64Binary(String fileName) throws IOException {
    File file = new File(fileName);
    byte[] encoded = Base64.encodeBase64(FileUtils.readFileToByteArray(file));
    return new String(encoded, StandardCharsets.US_ASCII);
}

Since Java 8 you can use the class java.util.Base64 and the corresponding inner classes:

  • java.util.Base64.Encoder
  • java.util.Base64.Decoder

See JavaDoc: Base64-Doc

And a sample for the use: Example from Oracle

This example worked great for me: https://grokonez.com/java/java-advanced/java-8-encode-decode-an-image-base64

public static String encoder(String filePath) {
        String base64File = "";
        File file = new File(filePath);
        try (FileInputStream imageInFile = new FileInputStream(file)) {
            // Reading a file from file system
            byte fileData[] = new byte[(int) file.length()];
            imageInFile.read(fileData);
            base64File = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(fileData);
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            System.out.println("File not found" + e);
        } catch (IOException ioe) {
            System.out.println("Exception while reading the file " + ioe);
        }
        return base64File;
    }
