Please review a java.util.Hex API to encode and decode hexadecimal
strings to and from byte arrays.
Within the JDK and JDK tests there are multiple implementations to
encode and decode
hexadecimal strings to byte arrays. Hex encoders and decoders support
upper or lower case hexadecimal characters, delimiters, prefix, and suffix.
The API is modeled after the java.util.Base64 API providing static
factories,
immutable threadsafe instances with methods to encode to and decode from
string and StringBuilder.
