hex string to buffer nodejs
To convert a hex string to a buffer in Node.js, you can follow these steps:
- Start by declaring a variable to store the hex string.
- Use the
Buffer.from()
method to convert the hex string to a buffer. Pass the hex string as the first argument and specify the encoding as"hex"
in the second argument. - The
Buffer.from()
method will return a buffer object representing the hex string.
Here's an example code snippet to illustrate the steps:
const hexString = "48656c6c6f20576f726c64"; // Example hex string
const buffer = Buffer.from(hexString, "hex");
In this example, the hexString
variable holds the hex string "48656c6c6f20576f726c64"
. The Buffer.from()
method is then used to convert the hex string to a buffer object, which is stored in the buffer
variable.
Note: Make sure to replace "48656c6c6f20576f726c64"
with your actual hex string in the code snippet.
