LongEncoder (Wicket Util 9.0.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.apache.wicket.util.LongEncoder

```
public class LongEncoder
extends Object
```
Encodes long values into the specified alphabet. Encoding is useful when long values need to be represented in their string form and shorter values are preferred; by using alphabets of length greater than ten shorter values can be obtained. For example, to encode values into their hexadecimal representations the 0123456789ABCDEF- can be used. Long values can be shortened even further by using longer alphabets. The last character in the alphabet is used as the negative sign.
