*** ** * ** ***
`HexFormat` converts between bytes and chars and hex-encoded strings which may include additional formatting markup such as prefixes, suffixes, and delimiters.
There are two factories of `HexFormat` with preset parameters `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/HexFormat#of()` and `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/HexFormat#ofDelimiter(java.lang.String)`. For other parameter combinations the `withXXX` methods return copies of `HexFormat` modified `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/HexFormat#withPrefix(java.lang.String)`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/HexFormat#withSuffix(java.lang.String)`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/HexFormat#withDelimiter(java.lang.String)` or choice of `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/HexFormat#withUpperCase()` or `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/HexFormat#withLowerCase()` parameters.
For primitive to hexadecimal string conversions the `toHexDigits` methods include `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/HexFormat#toHexDigits(byte)`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/HexFormat#toHexDigits(int)`, and `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/HexFormat#toHexDigits(long)`, etc. The default is to use lowercase characters `"0-9","a-f"`. For conversions producing uppercase hexadecimal the characters are `"0-9","A-F"`. Only the `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/HexFormat#isUpperCase()` parameter is considered; the delimiter, prefix and suffix are not used.
For hexadecimal string to primitive conversions the `fromHexDigits` methods include `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/HexFormat#fromHexDigits(java.lang.CharSequence)`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/HexFormat#fromHexDigitsToLong(java.lang.CharSequence)`, and `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/HexFormat#fromHexDigit(int)` converts a single character or codepoint. For conversions from hexadecimal characters the digits and uppercase and lowercase characters in `"0-9", "a-f", and "A-F"` are converted to corresponding values `0-15`. The delimiter, prefix, suffix, and uppercase parameters are not used.
For byte array to formatted hexadecimal string conversions the `formatHex` methods include `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/HexFormat#formatHex(byte[])` and `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/HexFormat#formatHex(A,%20byte[])`. The formatted output is a string or is appended to an `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Appendable` such as `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/StringBuilder` or `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/io/PrintStream`. Each byte value is formatted as the prefix, two hexadecimal characters from the uppercase or lowercase digits, and the suffix. A delimiter follows each formatted value, except the last. For conversions producing uppercase hexadecimal strings use `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/HexFormat#withUpperCase()`.
For formatted hexadecimal string to byte array conversions the `parseHex` methods include `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/HexFormat#parseHex(java.lang.CharSequence)` and `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/HexFormat#parseHex(char[],%20int,%20int)`. Each byte value is parsed from the prefix, two case insensitive hexadecimal characters, and the suffix. A delimiter follows each formatted value, except the last.

```
public static int fromHexDigits (CharSequence string,
int fromIndex,
int toIndex)
```
Returns the `int` value parsed from a string range of up to eight hexadecimal characters.
