Bytes

When working with binary files like images, audio, or other binary formats, you often need to manipulate data at the byte level.

main.w

// get bytes from raw value
let rawData: bytes = bytes.fromRaw([104, 101, 108, 108, 111]);

// get the bytes from a string
let rawString: bytes = bytes.fromString("hello");

// get bytes from base64 encoded value
let base64: bytes = bytes.fromBase64("aGVsbG8=");

// get bytes from hex value
let hex: bytes = bytes.fromHex("68656c6c6f");

log(Json.stringify(rawData));
log(Json.stringify(rawString));
log(Json.stringify(base64));
log(Json.stringify(hex));
