TomlHexNumberAttribute

Overview

The TomlHexNumberAttribute can be applied to any integer type field to serialize it as hexadecimal numbers.

NOTE: This attribute has no effect on deserialization, as the number format is inferred from the TOML document.

Effect

When applied to a field, it will serialize the integer number as a hexadecimal number when serializing to TOML.

By default, it will be serialized as a lowercase hexadecimal number. This can be changed by passing true in the constructor.

The value will be prefixed with 0x when serialized.

Public Properties

• IsUpperCase : bool (get) - Whether the hexadecimal number should be serialized as an uppercase number.

Usage

Example

[Serializable]
public class FileInfo
{
    private string _name;
    private long _sizeInBytes;
    
    [TomlHexNumber]
    private int _flags;
}

Would serialize into...

name = "file.txt"
sizeInBytes = 1024
flags = 0x2c04

Notice that the _flags field is serialized as a hex number (lowercase).
