The purpose of a hex editor is to be able to view a page in hexadecimal instead of standard [[ASCII]]. This is the main way to be able to create a binary without needing to type extended ascii, or program at all. Hex editors are also used to convert decimal to hexadecimal vice versa.

The purpose of a hex editor is to be able to view a page in hexadecimal instead of standard ASCII. This is the main way to be able to create a binary without needing to type extended ascii, or program at all. Hex editors are also used to convert decimal to hexadecimal vice versa.
