java.util.HexFormat utility:
- Format and parse hexadecimal strings, with parameters for delimiter, prefix, suffix and upper/lowercase
- Static factories and builder methods to create HexFormat copies with modified parameters.
- Consistent naming of methods for conversion of byte arrays to formatted strings and back: formatHex and parseHex
- Consistent naming of methods for conversion of primitive types: toHexDigits... and fromHexDigits...
- Prefix and suffixes now apply to each formatted value, not the string as a whole
- Using java.util.Appendable as a target for buffered conversions so output to Writers and PrintStreams
like System.out are supported in addition to StringBuilder. (IOExceptions are converted to unchecked exceptions)
- Immutable and thread safe, a "value-based" class
See the [HexFormat
javadoc](http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rriggs/8251989-hex-formatter/java.base/java/util/HexFormat.html) for details.
Review comments and suggestions welcome.
