Conversion from Base64URL to Hex

Base64URL and hexadecimal are two popular encoding formats used in computer systems for different purposes. Base64URL is often used for encoding binary data into a readable and ASCII-safe format, commonly seen in encoding URLs and JSON Web Tokens (JWTs). On the other hand, hexadecimal is frequently used to represent binary data in a human-readable format, often seen in debugging, cryptography, and low-level programming.

Converting data from Base64URL to hexadecimal involves decoding the Base64URL string into its binary representation and then encoding the binary data into a hexadecimal string. For example, if you have a Base64URL encoded string " SGVsbG8gV29yZCE=", you can convert it to hexadecimal format "48656c6c6f20576f726c6421". This conversion factor is useful when dealing with data manipulation, cryptographic operations, or when interoperating between systems that use different encoding schemes.
