测试：十六进制字符串到字节数组

我注意到，大多数测试都是在将Bytes数组转换为十六进制字符串的函数上执行的。因此，在这篇文章中，我将关注另一方面：将十六进制字符串转换为字节数组的函数。若您只对结果感兴趣，可以跳到“摘要”部分。测试代码文件在文章末尾提供。

标签

我想根据接受的答案（Tomalak）将函数命名为StringToByteArrayV1，或将其快捷到V1。其余函数将以相同的方式命名：V2、V3、V4、…、。。。，等

正确性测试

我通过传递1字节的所有256个可能值来测试正确性，然后检查输出是否正确。结果：

V18中以“00”开头的字符串有问题（请参阅Roger Stewart对此的评论）。除了通过所有测试。如果十六进制字符串字母是大写的：所有函数都成功传递如果十六进制字符串字母是小写的，则以下函数失败：V5_1、V5_2、v7、V8、V15、V19

注：V5_3解决了这个问题（V5_1和V5_2）

性能测试

我已经使用Stopwatch类进行了性能测试。

长字符串的性能

input length: 10,000,000 bytes

so let's decrease length for it:  
input length: 1,000,000 bytes
runs: 100
average elapsed time per run: V1 = 14.1ms , V18 = 146.7ms
V1 average ticks per run: 140630.3
V18 is more SLOW than V1 by: 10.4 times (ticks ratio)

测试代码

在使用以下代码之前，最好先阅读本文下面的免责声明部分https://github.com/Ghosticollis/performance-tests/blob/main/MTestPerformance.cs

总结

由于性能良好，我建议使用以下函数之一，并支持大写和小写：

CoperNick的StringToByteArrayV4StringToByteArrayV9（按Geograph）spacepille的StringToByteArrayV17StringToByteArrayV5_3基本上由Chris F开发（它基于V5_1，但我根据Amir Rezaei和Ben Voigt的评论对其进行了增强）。

以下是V5_3的最终形状：

static byte[] HexStringToByteArrayV5_3(string hexString) {
    int hexStringLength = hexString.Length;
    byte[] b = new byte[hexStringLength / 2];
    for (int i = 0; i < hexStringLength; i += 2) {
        int topChar = hexString[i];
        topChar = (topChar > 0x40 ? (topChar & ~0x20) - 0x37 : topChar - 0x30) << 4;
        int bottomChar = hexString[i + 1];
        bottomChar = bottomChar > 0x40 ? (bottomChar & ~0x20) - 0x37 : bottomChar - 0x30;
        b[i / 2] = (byte)(topChar + bottomChar);
    }
    return b;
}

免责声明

警告：我没有适当的测试知识。这些原始测试的主要目的是快速概述所有发布的函数的优点。如果您需要准确的结果，请使用适当的测试工具。

最后，我想说，我是新来的，在斯塔科弗洛活跃，如果我的职位空缺，我很抱歉。如果您能发表评论，我们将不胜感激。

从.NET 5 RC2开始，您可以使用：

Convert.ToHexString（byte[]inArray），返回字符串和Convert.FromHexString（字符串s），返回字节[]。

可以使用跨度参数的重载。

可以使用从.NET 5开始的Convert.ToHexString。还有一个用于反向操作的方法：Convert.FromHexString。

---

对于较旧版本的.NET，您可以使用：

public static string ByteArrayToString(byte[] ba)
{
  StringBuilder hex = new StringBuilder(ba.Length * 2);
  foreach (byte b in ba)
    hex.AppendFormat("{0:x2}", b);
  return hex.ToString();
}

or:

public static string ByteArrayToString(byte[] ba)
{
  return BitConverter.ToString(ba).Replace("-","");
}

举个例子，这里有更多的方法。

反向转换如下：

public static byte[] StringToByteArray(String hex)
{
  int NumberChars = hex.Length;
  byte[] bytes = new byte[NumberChars / 2];
  for (int i = 0; i < NumberChars; i += 2)
    bytes[i / 2] = Convert.ToByte(hex.Substring(i, 2), 16);
  return bytes;
}

---

使用Substring是与Convert.ToByte结合使用的最佳选项。有关详细信息，请参阅此答案。如果需要更好的性能，必须避免Convert.ToByte，然后才能删除SubString。

为了提高性能，我会选择drphrozens解决方案。解码器的一个微小的优化可能是为任一字符使用一个表，以消除“<<4”。

显然，这两个方法调用代价高昂。如果对输入或输出数据进行某种检查（可以是CRC、校验和或其他），则If（b==255）。。。可以跳过，从而也可以完全调用方法。

使用offset++和offset代替offset和offset+1可能会带来一些理论上的好处，但我怀疑编译器比我更好地处理这一点。

public static byte ToByte(char[] chars, int offset)
{
  return (byte)(LookupHigh(chars[offset++]) | LookupLow(chars[offset]));

这只是我的头顶，没有经过测试或基准测试。

支持最短路径和.net核心：

    public static string BytesToString(byte[] ba) =>
        ba.Aggregate(new StringBuilder(32), (sb, b) => sb.Append(b.ToString("X2"))).ToString();

Dotnet 5更新

要从byte[]（字节数组）转换为十六进制字符串，请使用：

System.Convert.ToHexString

var myBytes = new byte[100];
var myString = System.Convert.ToHexString(myBytes);

要将十六进制字符串转换为字节[]，请使用：

System.Convert.FromHexString

var myString  = "E10B116E8530A340BCC7B3EAC208487B";
var myBytes = System.Convert.FromHexString(myString);
