Class PemReader

java.lang.Object

com.google.api.client.util.PemReader

@Beta
public final class PemReader
extends Object

Beta
PEM file reader.

Supports reading any PEM stream that contains Base64 encoded content stored inside "-----BEGIN ...-----" and "-----END ...-----" tags. Each call to readNextSection() parses the next section in the PEM file. If you need a section of a certain title use readNextSection(String), for example readNextSection("PRIVATE KEY"). To ensure that the stream is closed properly, call close() in a finally block.

As a convenience, use readFirstSectionAndClose(Reader) or readFirstSectionAndClose(Reader, String) for the common case of only a single section in a PEM file (or only a single section of a given title).

Limitations:

• Assumes the PEM file section content is not encrypted and cannot handle the case of any headers inside the BEGIN and END tag.
• It also ignores any attributes associated with any PEM file section.
