Method Convert2.HexEncode(+ 2 overloads)

Overload

Converts data in byte[] or other memory to hex-encoded string.

public static string HexEncode(ReadOnlySpan<byte> data, bool upperCase = false)
Parameters
data  (ReadOnlySpan<byte>)
upperCase  (bool)

Let the hex string contain A-F, not a-f.
Returns
string

Remarks

The result string length is 2 * data length. Often it's better to use System.Convert.ToBase64String, then result is 4/3 of data length. But cannot use Base64 in file names and URLs because it is case-sensitive and may contain character '/'. Both functions are fast.

Overload(next)

Converts binary data in any memory to hex-encoded string.

public static string HexEncode(void* data, int size, bool upperCase = false)
Parameters
data  (void*)

The data. Can be any valid memory of specified size, for example a struct address.
size  (int)

data memory size (bytes).
upperCase  (bool)

Let the hex string contain A-F, not a-f.
Returns
string

Remarks

The result string length is 2 * data length. Often it's better to use System.Convert.ToBase64String, then result is 4/3 of data length. But cannot use Base64 in file names and URLs because it is case-sensitive and may contain character '/'. Both functions are fast.

Overload(top)

Converts a struct variable to hex-encoded string.

public static string HexEncode<T>(T x, bool upperCase = false) where T : unmanaged
Parameters
x  (T)

Variable.
upperCase  (bool)

Let the hex string contain A-F, not a-f.
Returns
string
Type Parameters
T
