    //  This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    //  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    var crypt = new chilkat.Crypt2();

    //  Here are some bytes as a hex string
    var hex = "4142434445462140232425";

    //  The ReEncode method converts a string from one encoding to another.
    //  Valid encodings are "url", "base64", "qp", "hex", "modbase64", "base64url", "base32", "base58", 
    //  and any of the encodings listed here:  http://cknotes.com/chilkat-binary-encoding-list/

    //  Convert from hex to base64
    var b64 = crypt.ReEncode(hex,"hex","base64");
    console.log("base64: " + b64);

    //  Convert from base64 to base32
    var b32 = crypt.ReEncode(b64,"base64","base32");
    console.log("base32: " + b32);

    //  Convert from base32 back to hex
    hex = crypt.ReEncode(b32,"base32","hex");
    console.log("hex: " + hex);
