Convert Base64 to Byte and Byte to Base64 in Java

Simple Ready to use utility class to convert : base64 -> byte and byte -> base64

import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64;

  * This method take base64 type string as input and
  * convert it to byte[] array

  * @param data base64 type string
  * @return byte array
  * @throws Exception
  *  
  */

  Base64 base64 = new Base64();
  return Base64.decodeBase64(data);
 }

 /**
  * This method take byte array as input and
  * convert it to base64 string
  * 
  * @param data byte array
  * @return base64 string
