Encode a ShortByteString value as Base16 Text with padding.

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

See: RFC-4648 section 8

Decode a Base16-encoded ShortByteString value.

See: RFC-4648 section 8

Decode a Base16-encoded ShortByteString value leniently, using a strategy that never fails

N.B.: this is not RFC 4648-compliant

Tell whether a ShortByteString value is base16 encoded.

Examples:

This example will fail. It conforms to the alphabet, but is not valid because it has an incorrect (odd) length.

>>> isBase16 "666f6"
False

This example will succeed because it satisfies the alphabet and is considered "valid" (i.e. of the correct size and shape).

>>> isBase16 "666f"
True

Tell whether a ShortByteString 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 alphabet. To check whether it is a true Base16 encoded ShortByteString value, use isBase16.

Examples:

This example will fail because it does not conform to the Hex alphabet.

>>> isValidBase16 "666f+/6"
False

This example will succeed because it satisfies the alphabet and is considered "valid" (i.e. of the correct size and shape), but is not correct base16 because it is the wrong shape.

>>> isValidBase16 "666f6"
True
