HexaString - text format of binary data
HexaString is an encoding system that converts binary data to a text string, that contains only the characters
0-9, A-F.
Each byte of binary data is converted to a single two-digit hexadecimal number.
- The length of the resulting text string is always increased by 50%.
- The
HexaString encoding is longer than the
Base64 encoding, which usually only increases the length by 33%.
