rust - Show u8 slice in hex representation

I need to convert &[u8] to a hex representation. For example [ A9, 45, FF, 00 ... ].

The trait std::fmt::UpperHex is not implemented for slices (so I can't use std::fmt::format). Rust has the serialize::hex::ToHex trait, which converts &[u8] to a hex String, but I need a representation with separate bytes.

I can implement trait UpperHex for &[u8] myself, but I'm not sure how canonical this would be. What is the most canonical way to do this?

Rust 1.26.0 and up

The :x? "debug with hexadecimal integers" formatter can be used:

let data = b"hello";
// lower case
println!("{:x?}", data);
// upper case
println!("{:X?}", data);

let data = [0x0, 0x1, 0xe, 0xf, 0xff];
// print the leading zero
println!("{:02X?}", data);
// It can be combined with the pretty modifier as well
println!("{:#04X?}", data);

Output:

[68, 65, 6c, 6c, 6f]
[68, 65, 6C, 6C, 6F]
[00, 01, 0E, 0F, FF]
[
    0x00,
    0x01,
    0x0E,
    0x0F,
    0xFF,
]

If you need more control or need to support older versions of Rust, keep reading.

Rust 1.0 and up

use std::fmt::Write;

fn main() {
    let mut s = String::new();
    for &byte in "Hello".as_bytes() {
        write!(&mut s, "{:X} ", byte).expect("Unable to write");
    }

    println!("{}", s);
}

This can be fancied up by implementing one of the formatting traits (fmt::Debug, fmt::Display, fmt::LowerHex, fmt::UpperHex, etc.) on a wrapper struct and having a little constructor:

use std::fmt;

struct HexSlice<'a>(&'a [u8]);

impl<'a> HexSlice<'a> {
    fn new<T>(data: &'a T) -> HexSlice<'a>
    where
        T: ?Sized + AsRef<[u8]> + 'a,
    {
        HexSlice(data.as_ref())
    }
}

// You can choose to implement multiple traits, like Lower and UpperHex
impl fmt::Display for HexSlice<'_> {
    fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
        for byte in self.0 {
            // Decide if you want to pad the value or have spaces inbetween, etc.
            write!(f, "{:X} ", byte)?;
        }
        Ok(())
    }
}

fn main() {
    // To get a `String`
    let s = format!("{}", HexSlice::new("Hello"));

    // Or print it directly
    println!("{}", HexSlice::new("world"));

    // Works with
    HexSlice::new("Hello"); // string slices (&str)
    HexSlice::new(b"Hello"); // byte slices (&[u8])
    HexSlice::new(&"World".to_string()); // References to String
    HexSlice::new(&vec![0x00, 0x01]); // References to Vec<u8>
}

You can be even fancier and create an extension trait:

trait HexDisplayExt {
    fn hex_display(&self) -> HexSlice<'_>;
}

impl<T> HexDisplayExt for T
where
    T: ?Sized + AsRef<[u8]>,
{
    fn hex_display(&self) -> HexSlice<'_> {
        HexSlice::new(self)
    }
}

fn main() {
    println!("{}", "world".hex_display());
}
