Best use cases

Common mistakes

The user expects the reverse operation from plain hex input.

Fix: Use the hex decoder when the source is already hexadecimal.

Whitespace or line breaks in the input change the result unexpectedly.

Fix: Trim or normalize the text first if exact byte output matters.

The user expects Base64 or another encoding family instead of hex.

Fix: Use the correct encoder for the target format.
