Data.ByteString.Base16

This module contains the combinators implementing the RFC 4648 specification for the Base16 encoding including unpadded and lenient variants

Documentation

encodeBase16 :: ByteString -> Text

Encode a ByteString value as Base16 Text with padding.

See: RFC-4648 section 8

encodeBase16' :: ByteString -> ByteString

Encode a ByteString value as a Base16 ByteString value with padding.

See: RFC-4648 section 8

decodeBase16 :: ByteString -> Either Text ByteString

Decode a padded Base16-encoded ByteString value.

See: RFC-4648 section 8

isBase16 :: ByteString -> Bool

Tell whether a ByteString value is base16 encoded.

isValidBase16 :: ByteString -> Bool

Tell whether a ByteString value is a valid Base16 format.

This will not tell you whether or not this is a correct Base16 representation, only that it conforms to the correct shape. To check whether it is a true Base16 encoded ByteString value, use isBase16.
