Fast hex / binary transcoding in pure JavaScript
npm install hex-stringtoString(16) and parseInt(n, 16) which is generally what's used in the browser.On my laptop, using node@10.12.0:
`` shell
$ npm run bench
> hex-string@1.0.0 bench hex-string
> node bench

encode (node Buffer): 20.834ms
decode (node Buffer): 16.737ms
encode (toString): 502.201ms
decode (parseInt): 317.031ms
encode (this module): 37.162ms
decode (this module): 56.636ms
`
shell
$ npm run test
`Notes
* Tested against node's Buffer for compatibility
* Decode returns instead of Buffer`
