For now only two methods are implemented - hexlify with b2a_hex alias and 'unhexlify' (called also a2b_hex).
npm install binascii
then:
var ba = require('binascii');
console.log(ba.hexlify('A')); // result: '41'
console.log(ba.unhexlify('377abcaf271c')); // result: '7z¼¯'\u001c'
hexlify - Return the hexadecimal representation of the binary data. Every byte of data is converted into the corresponding 2-digit hex representation.unhexlify - Return the binary data represented by the hexadecimal string. This function is the inverse of hexlify.b2a_hex - alias of hexlifya2b_hex - alias of unhexlifyoriginal library supports also:
