    //  Hashing algorithms (i.e. digest algorithms) operate on raw bytes.
    //  Therefore, we must specify the character encoding (utf-8, utf-16, iso-8859-1, etc.) to be used when hashing.

    //  Get the SHA256 hash in hex
    var sha256_hex = sb.GetHash("sha256","hex","utf-8");
    console.log("SHA256: " + sha256_hex);

    //  Get the SHA384 hash in hex lowercase
    var sha384_hex = sb.GetHash("sha384","hex_lower","utf-8");
    console.log("SHA384: " + sha384_hex);

    //  Get the SHA512 hash in base64
    var sha512_base64 = sb.GetHash("sha512","base64","utf-8");
    console.log("SHA512: " + sha512_base64);

    //  Get the SHA1 hash in hex lowercase
    var sha1_hex = sb.GetHash("sha1","hex_lower","utf-8");
    console.log("SHA1: " + sha1_hex);

    //  Get the CRC8 digest in decimal
    var crc8_decimal = sb.GetHash("crc8","decimal","utf-8");
