Data.ByteString.Base16.Lazy

Description

Fast and efficient encoding and decoding of base16-encoded strings.

Synopsis

encode :: ByteString -> ByteString
decode :: ByteString -> (ByteString, ByteString)

Documentation

encode :: ByteString -> ByteString Source #

Encode a string into base16 form. The result will always be a multiple of 2 bytes in length.

Example:

encode "foo"  == "666f6f"

decode :: ByteString -> (ByteString, ByteString) Source #

Decode a string from base16 form. The first element of the returned tuple contains the decoded data. The second element starts at the first invalid base16 sequence in the original string.

This function operates as lazily as possible over the input chunks.

Examples:

decode "666f6f"  == ("foo", "")
decode "66quux"  == ("f", "quux")
decode "666quux" == ("f", "6quux")
