--------------------------

             Summary: Possible more OO-like approach to DigestUtils
                 Key: CODEC-220
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CODEC-220
             Project: Commons Codec
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Sebb


DigestUtils is starting to get a bit unwieldy with so many similar static 
methods.

One approach would be to use a Fluent approach (method chaining).

e.g. DigestUtils.MDA("My-Digest").digestHex(File f);

There would only need to be digest,digestHex and update instance methods for 
the different input types, currently byte, ByteBuffer, InputStream, File.
Whereas at present these are repeated for each digest type.
