Description

SVG files that could previously be loaded and displayed in Processin 3.5.4 no longer work.

Expected Behavior

Current Behavior

Sketch is interrupted with Illegal base64 character 20 error.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Copy this SVG file to a data folder inside a new sketch:
   https://github.com/villares/desenho-sem-argumentos/blob/2022/1_outubro_2022/gerador_completo/base_frente.svg
2. Paste in and run this code:

void setup(){
    size(562, 920);
    PShape frente = loadShape("base_frente.svg");
    shape(frente, 0, 0, 562, 920);  // optional, will not be reached
}

Your Environment

• Processing version: Processing 4.0.1
• Operating System and OS version: Manjaro 21.3 Kernel 5.15

The file contains 'white space character(0x20)' and it causes error.
It is skipped in Processing 3(javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter), but not in Processing 4(java.util.Base64).
Delete white spaces may fix it. (line 1987 in PShape.java)

@jaegonlee , thank you for finding a solution to this bug. It looks like you tested this and found the solution does solve the problem. What are the next steps? Will you submit a PR for this?

It looks like this image has an error. I was searching for this error and it can be solved by replacing byte[] decodedBytes = Base64.getDecoder().decode(encodedData); with byte[] decodedBytes = Base64.getUrlDecoder().decode(encodedData);. I did this change by we still have an error.

I will try to create a more stable code, first trying to using the default decoder, than the UrlDecoder and if it does not work I will replace all invalid values before using the default encoder again.
