encodeToCharArray

@JvmStatic

fun ByteArray.encodeToCharArray(encoder: Encoder<*>): CharArray(source)

Encodes a ByteArray for the provided encoder and returns the encoded data in the form of a CharArray.

Throws

if the encoded output exceeds Int.MAX_VALUE. This is not applicable for most encoding specifications as the majority compress data, but is something that can occur with Base16 (hex) as it produces 2 characters of output for every 1 byte of input.
