From https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium-php :

// Binary to hexadecimal
$hex = Sodium::sodium_bin2hex($bin);

// Hexadecimal to binary
$bin = Sodium::sodium_hex2bin($hex);

// Hexadecimal to binary, ignoring a set of characters
$bin = Sodium::sodium_hex2bin($hex, $string_of_characters_to_ignore);

What's the reason for this redundancy (Sodium::sodium_*) ?

thanks,
