Encode a ShortText value in Base16 with padding.

See: RFC-4648 section 8

Decode a Base16-encoded lazy ShortText value.

See: RFC-4648 section 8

Attempt to decode a lazy ShortText value as Base16, converting from ByteString to ShortText according to some encoding function. In practice, This is something like decodeUtf8', which may produce an error.

See: RFC-4648 section 8

Example:

decodeBase16With decodeUtf8'
  :: ShortText -> Either (Base16Error UnicodeException) ShortText

Decode a Base16-encoded lazy ShortText value leniently, using a strategy that never fails, catching unicode exceptions raised in the process of converting to text values.

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

Tell whether a ShortText 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 ShortText 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 ShortText 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
