DESCRIPTION
Codec is a Jakarta Commons component that provides implementations for common encoding and decoding functions. Some of these functions are indeed pretty common, for example, Base64, Hex and URL. Some of them not so, for example, all phonetic encodings like Soundex, Refined Soundex and Metaphone.
This module provides a description of the various encoders and decoders provided by Codec. It explains Base64, Hex, MD5, SHA, Soundex, Metaphone and Double Metaphone. The phonetic encoders are very useful in situations where similar sounding names are more important than similarly spelled names. It then shows you how to use Codec to encode and decode these technologies, with a detailed examination of the Codec API, in case you want to extend it to create your own encoder and decoder.
