Bytes are cool but highly unreadable. Imagine telling someone

Hey, my name is 00101011101010101020

It’s easier to encode data so it is more human readable . Some common encodings include -

1. Ascii
2. Hex
3. Base64
4. Base58

Ascii

1 character = 7 bits

Every byte corresponds to a text on the computer . Here is a complete list - https://www.w3schools.com/charsets/ref_html_ascii.asp#:~:text=The ASCII Character Set&text=ASCII is a 7-bit,are all based on ASCII.

• Bytes to Ascii
• Ascii to bytes
• UInt8Array to ascii
• Ascii to UInt8Array

Hex

1 character = 4 bits

A single hex character can be any of the 16 possible values: 0-9 and A-F.

• Array to hex
• Hex to array
