Trait FromHex

pub trait FromHex: Sized {
    type Error;

    // Required method
    fn from_hex<T: AsRef<[u8]>>(hex: T) -> Result<Self, Self::Error>;
}

Types that can be decoded from a hex string.

This trait is implemented for Vec<u8> and small u8-arrays.

Example

use const_hex::FromHex;

let buffer = <[u8; 12]>::from_hex("48656c6c6f20776f726c6421")?;
assert_eq!(buffer, *b"Hello world!");

Required Associated Types

type Error

The associated error which can be returned from parsing.

Required Methods

fn from_hex<T: AsRef<[u8]>>(hex: T) -> Result<Self, Self::Error>

Creates an instance of type Self from the given hex string, or fails with a custom error type.

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

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
