Fast base16 (hex) encoding and decoding for ByteStrings.

This package provides support for encoding and decoding binary data according to base16 (see also RFC 4648) for strict (see Data.ByteString.Base16) and lazy ByteStrings (see Data.ByteString.Base16.Lazy).

See also the base-encoding package which provides an uniform API providing conversion paths between more binary and textual types.

Fast base16 support

Please refer to the package description on Hackage for more information.

This package provides a Haskell library for working with base16-encoded data quickly and efficiently, using the ByteString type.

Performance

This library is written in pure Haskell, and it's fast:

• 250 MB/sec encoding

• 200 MB/sec strict decoding (per RFC 4648)

• 100 MB/sec lenient decoding

Get involved!

Please report bugs via the GitHub issue tracker.

Master Git repository:

• git clone git://github.com/haskell/base16-bytestring.git
