# NextGen Software Utilities

This library provides utility/helper methods for other NextGen Software libraries/products such as OASIS API, STAR ODK, Logging, WebSocket & HoloNET (world's first .NET & Unity client for Holochain), which can be found below: <https://github.com/NextGenSoftwareUK/holochain-client-csharp>

Utilities provides the following methods:

| string DataHelper.ConvertBinaryDataToStringbyte\[] data, bool ignoreEmptyByte = true) | Converts the binary data to a coma delimited string, useful for logging/debugging etc. |
| string DataHelper.DecodeBinaryDataAsUTF8(byte\[] data)                                | Decodes the data using Encoding.UTF8.                                                  |

Lots more coming soon... ;-) (will be moved out of the main OASIS codebase here: <https://github.com/NextGenSoftwareUK/Our-World-OASIS-API-HoloNET-HoloUnity-And-.NET-HDK>)

More documentation will be coming soon...
