Hex.swift

A library for converting between Data and Hexadecimal (also known as Base-16) strings.

Usage

Encode some Sequence<UInt8> to Hexadecimal string

// This is the original data.
let data: Data = "1234JKLM".data(using: .utf8)!

// Perform encoding.
let hexString: String = data.hexEncodedString()

print(hexString)
// -> "313233344a4b4c4d"

Decode Hexadecimal string to Data

// This is the Hexadecimal encoded string.
let hexString: String = "313233344a4b4c4d"

// Perform decoding.
let data: Data = Data(hexEncoded: hexString)!

print(String(decoding: data, as: UTF8.self))
// -> "1234JKLM"
