What changed: Previous vs New
52+
53+
Previous Java style:
54+
- No direct PEM support
55+
- Manual Base64 encoding required
56+
- Hard to format keys correctly
57+
58+
New Java 26 style:
59+
- Built-in PEM encoding/decoding support (JEP 524)
60+
- Easier to work with cryptographic keys
61+
- Cleaner and safer APIs
62+
63+
Why the new approach is better:
64+
- Simplifies security-related code
65+
- Standardized format handling
66+
- Reduces manual errors
67+
68+
Pros:
69+
1. Easier key handling
70+
- No need for custom formatting logic
71+
72+
2. Standard compliance
73+
- Follows PEM structure
74+
75+
3. Useful for real-world systems
76+
- HTTPS, certificates, authentication
77+
78+
4. Cleaner security APIs
79+
- Less boilerplate
80+
81+
Cons:
82+
1. Preview feature
83+
- May require enabling preview in Java 26
84+
85+
2. Learning curve
86+
- Security APIs are complex
87+
88+
3. Not needed for basic apps
89+
- Mainly useful in backend/security-heavy systems
90+
91+
Best use case:
92+
- SSL/TLS certificates
93+
- Authentication systems
94+
- Secure key storage
95+
- API security
96+
97+
Compile and run:
98+
javac PemEncodingDemo.java
99+
java PemEncodingDemo
100+
