About HexForge

HexForge is a modern demonstration of what the Web Platform is capable of. Traditionally, low-level binary analysis required installing native desktop applications. HexForge challenges that notion by providing a performant, full-featured Hex Editor that lives entirely in your browser.

Our Mission

To provide a secure, accessible, and high-performance tool for developers, reverse engineers, and students who need to peek inside files without the overhead of installing software.

Technology Stack

HexForge is built with a minimalist approach to dependencies:

• HTML5 & CSS3: Semantic structure and modern flexbox/grid layouts.
• Vanilla JavaScript (ES6+): No frameworks (React, Vue) were used. This ensures maximum performance and zero build-step complexity.
• TypedArrays: We utilize Uint8Array and DataView for handling binary data efficiently.
• Virtual DOM (Custom): To handle large files, we implemented a custom virtual scrolling engine that recycles DOM nodes, keeping the memory footprint low.
