[java] How to convert a byte array to a hex string in Java?

Here is a java.util.Base64-like implementation, isn't it pretty?

import java.util.Arrays;

public class Base16/* a.k.a. Hex */ {
    public static class Encoder{
        private static char[] toLowerHex={'0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','a','b','c','d','e','f'};
        private static char[] toUpperHex={'0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','A','B','C','D','E','F'};
        private boolean upper;
        public Encoder(boolean upper) {
            this.upper=upper;
        }
        public String encode(byte[] data){
            char[] value=new char[data.length*2];
            char[] toHex=upper?toUpperHex:toLowerHex;
            for(int i=0,j=0; i<data.length; i++){
                int octet=data[i]&0xFF;
                value[j++]=toHex[octet>>4];
                value[j++]=toHex[octet&0xF];
            }
            return new String(value);
        }
        static final Encoder LOWER_CASE=new Encoder(false);
        static final Encoder UPPER_CASE=new Encoder(true);
    }
    public static Encoder getEncoder(){
        return Encoder.LOWER_CASE;
    }
    public static Encoder getUpperEncoder(){
        return Encoder.UPPER_CASE;
    }

    public static class Decoder{
      private static int maxIndex=102;
      private static int[] toIndex;
      static {
        toIndex=new int[maxIndex+1];
        Arrays.fill(toIndex, -1);
        char[] chars={'0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','A','B','C','D','E','F','a','b','c','d','e','f'};
        for(int i=0; i<chars.length; i++) {
          toIndex[(int)chars[i]]=i;
        }
      }
      public Decoder() {
      }
      public byte[] decode(String str) {
          char[] value=str.toCharArray();
          int start=0;
          if(value.length>2 && value[0]=='0' && (value[1]=='x' || value[1]=='X')) {
            start=2;
          }
          int byteLength=(value.length-start)/2; // ignore trailing odd char if exists
          byte[] data=new byte[byteLength];
          for(int i=start,j=0;i<value.length;i+=2,j++){
              int i1;
              int i2;
              char c1=value[i];
              char c2=value[i+1];
              if(c1>maxIndex || (i1=toIndex[(int)c1])<0 || c2>maxIndex || (i2=toIndex[(int)c2])<0) {
                throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid character at "+i);
              }
              data[j]=(byte)((i1<<4)+i2);
          }
          return data;
      }
      static final Decoder IGNORE_CASE=new Decoder();
  }
  public static Decoder getDecoder(){
      return Decoder.IGNORE_CASE;
  }
}
