Converts a blob to its CQL hex string representation.

A CQL blob string representation consists of the hexadecimal representation of the blob bytes prefixed by "0x".

Params:
  • bytes – the blob/bytes to convert to a string.
Returns:the CQL string representation of bytes. If bytes is null, this method returns null.

Parses a hex string representing a CQL blob.

The input should be a valid representation of a CQL blob, i.e. it must start by "0x" followed by the hexadecimal representation of the blob bytes.

Params:
  • str – the CQL blob string representation to parse.
Throws:
Returns:the bytes corresponding to str. If str is null, this method returns null.

Extracts the content of the provided ByteBuffer as a byte array.

This method works with any type of ByteBuffer (direct and non-direct ones), but when the buffer is backed by an array, it will try to avoid copy when possible. As a consequence, changes to the returned byte array may or may not reflect into the initial buffer.

Params:
  • bytes – the buffer whose contents to extract.
Returns:a byte array with the contents of bytes. That array may be the array backing bytes if this can avoid a copy.
