<p>
            We check the binary compatibility by comparing the current code’s binary interfaces
            against THE LATEST VERSION WHICH IS RELEASED FROM RELEASE BRANCH (from `released-version.json` on this branch)
            AND LOWER THAN CURRENT BASE VERSION (from `version.txt` on this branch).

        // Test String
        final String str = "test string";
        byte[] binary = SerializeUtil.fromObjectToBinary(str);
        assertEquals(str, SerializeUtil.fromBinaryToObject(binary));

        // Test Integer
        final Integer num = 42;
        binary = SerializeUtil.fromObjectToBinary(num);
        assertEquals(num, SerializeUtil.fromBinaryToObject(binary));

        // Test String array

                "Method com.example.TaskInterface.setSourceCompatibility(java.lang.String): Is not binary compatible. Reason for accepting this: Upgraded property" to listOf("Method has been removed")
            )
        }
    }

  /**
   * Lookup table for valid flags for DATA, HEADERS, CONTINUATION. Invalid combinations are
   * represented in binary.
   */
  private val FLAGS = arrayOfNulls<String>(0x40) // Highest bit flag is 0x20.
  private val BINARY =
    Array(256) {
      format("%8s", Integer.toBinaryString(it)).replace(' ', '0')
    }

    FLAGS[FLAG_NONE] = ""

If your app needs to receive and send JSON data, but you need to include binary data in it, you can encode it as base64.

## Base64 vs Files { #base64-vs-files }

Consider first if you can use [Request Files](../tutorial/request-files.md) for uploading binary data and [Custom Response - FileResponse](./custom-response.md#fileresponse--fileresponse-) for sending binary data, instead of encoding it in JSON.

      offset >= 0 -> offset * 4

      // This section was found by binary search.
      else -> (-offset - 2) * 4 // Not found? Use the preceding element.
    }
  }

  /**
   * Binary search [ranges] for [codePoint], looking at its bottom 7 bits.
   *
   * This binary searches over 4-byte entries, and so it needs to adjust binary search indices
   * in (by dividing by 4) and out (by multiplying by 4).
