Function decode

Source
pub fn decode<T: AsRef<[u8]>>(data: T) -> Result<Vec<u8>, FromHexError>
Expand description

Decodes a hex string into raw bytes.

Both, upper and lower case characters are valid in the input string and can even be mixed (e.g. f9b4ca, F9B4CA and f9B4Ca are all valid strings).

ยงExample

assert_eq!(
    hex::decode("48656c6c6f20776f726c6421"),
    Ok("Hello world!".to_owned().into_bytes())
);

assert_eq!(hex::decode("123"), Err(hex::FromHexError::OddLength));
assert!(hex::decode("foo").is_err());
