lowercase-hex

This crate provides a fast conversion of byte arrays to lowercase hexadecimal strings, both at compile time, and at run time.

This is a fork of https://github.com/danipopes/const-hex that enforces strict lowercase.

Version requirement: rustc 1.64+

Performance

This crate offers performance comparable to faster-hex on x86/x86-64 architectures but outperforms it on other platforms, as faster-hex is only optimized for x86/x86-64.

This crate is 10 to 50 times faster than [hex] in encoding and decoding, and 100+ times faster than libstd in formatting.

The following benchmarks were ran on an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, compiled with 1.83.0-nightly (9ff5fc4ff 2024-10-03) on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.

You can run these benchmarks with cargo bench --features std on a nightly compiler.
