Hex Visualizer 2017

Hex viewer visualizer provides a visualizer for byte arrays so as to display them in a mini hex visualizer. Very useful for debugging network packets and binary files.

Since 1.2 it supports visualizing string variables as well. A popup window allows you to choose how to convert the string to a byte array. Since 1.3 it support byte and string search, and copy value to clipboard (right click on value in bottom panel)
