Developer Utilities

Charset: &nbsp; Encoding of the input string
Chunked: &nbsp; Output the Base64-encoded string chunked
UrlSafe: &nbsp; Only use characters that are allowed in URLs when Base64-encoding

A range of developer utilities help process developers to URL-encode strings, encode/decode Base64 data, and to create hashes with a click. Within the X4 Designer, each utility is represented by a separate view, provided by the Eclipse plug-in DevUtils.

You can access the developer utilities via the menu View.

View	Description
Base64	Allows any string pasted from the clipboard to be encoded or decoded as Base64 Provided options: Charset: Encoding of the input string Chunked: Output the Base64-encoded string chunked UrlSafe: Only use characters that are allowed in URLs when Base64-encoding Note: The button decode (save file) stores a decoded Base64 string as file into the local file system. Currently, it is only possible to drag & drop files from the local file system, not from the Repository Navigator.
Digest	Allows to generate a hash for a string that has been pasted from the clipboard Provided options: Charset: Encoding of the input string Digest: Choose an algorithm: `md5`: Generate an MD5 hash (default) `sha`: Generate a hash using the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) `sha256`: Generate an SHA hash with 256 Bit `sha384`: Generate an SHA hash with 384 Bit `sha512`: Generate an SHA hash with 512 Bit
Regex	Allows to apply any regular expression (short: Regex) to any string that has been pasted from the clipboard. This allows you to test any expression (by clicking the match button), or to replace the string according to the Regex pattern (defined in Pattern) by clicking the replace button. This view also allows you to enable various Regex syntax options, such as `CASE_INSENSITIVE` or `UNICODE_CASE`.
URLCodec	Allows any string pasted from the clipboard to be URL-encoded or decoded
