@package hexstring
@version 0.11.0

module Data.HexString

-- | Represents a Hex string. Guarantees that all characters it contains
--   are valid hex characters.
data HexString

-- | Smart constructor which validates that all the text are actually
--   hexadecimal characters.
hexString :: ByteString -> HexString

-- | Converts a <a>Binary</a> to a <a>HexString</a> value
fromBinary :: Binary a => a -> HexString

-- | Converts a <a>HexString</a> to a <a>Binary</a> value
toBinary :: Binary a => HexString -> a

-- | Reads a <a>ByteString</a> as raw bytes and converts to hex
--   representation. We cannot use the instance Binary of <a>ByteString</a>
--   because it provides a leading length, which is not what we want when
--   dealing with raw bytes.
fromBytes :: ByteString -> HexString

-- | Access to the raw bytes in a <a>ByteString</a> format.
toBytes :: HexString -> ByteString

-- | Access to a <a>Text</a> representation of the <a>HexString</a>
