HexReader

This app is a Grand Prize Winner in the Apptivate.MS developer contest!

Binary file analyzer developed using HTML5 technologies (FileReader / ArrayBuffers)

  • Large file support
  • Low memory footprint
  • Range Selection
  • Copy to Clipboard as Text/Hex

These features have not yet been ported to the Windows version and are a works in progress:

  • Bookmarks
  • Search

Some interesting things (or not) encountered during the port:

  • ArrayBuffer does not have the 'slice' method on IE10

  • My 'before' app expected a 'File' object, whereby the FileOpenPicker returned an object of type 'StorageFile', this question on SO provided a solution http://stackoverflow.com/q/16824415/149636

Reminds me of the old Norton DiskEdit. Made me feel that every OS should include a hex editor.
