>> frequently asked questions
What is Base16 encoding?
Base16, also known as hexadecimal, is a numeral system that uses 16 symbols (0-9 and A-F) to represent binary data in a human-readable format.
When should I use Base16?
Base16 is ideal for representing binary data, color codes, memory addresses, and debugging purposes. It's commonly used in programming and system administration.
Is Base16 the same as hexadecimal?
Yes, Base16 and hexadecimal are the same. Hexadecimal is the more common name for the base-16 numeral system.
Can I decode any Base16 string?
You can decode any valid Base16 string that contains only the characters 0-9 and A-F (case insensitive). Invalid characters will result in an error.
