	File size
	

		

			An useful method to format file size starting from byte to human readable format such as 1 MB, ...

	Parse integers
	

		

			Native javascript parseInt function has a weird behaviour because it tries to use different radixes (octal if parameter begins with '0', hexadecimal for '0x', decimal otherwise). In fact parseInt("0w") returns 0. (see here)
			
jsbeans.string.parseInt("0w") returns NaN.
			
As NOT for the native one jsbeans.string.parseInt removes all leading "0". As result jsbeans.string.parseInt("00001") returns 1.

	From/to hexadecimal
	

		

			These methods provide transformation of string to thier equivalent hexadecimal and viceversa.

	Remove match
	

		

			A simple way to remove part of string inside a given one.

	Parse booleans
	

		

			Trying to guess if given string can be converted to a boolean value.
			
'1', 'true' or 't' (both case insensitive) return true (as boolean).
			
Optionally a second argument can be passed and it will be used to match against the given string.

	Format

			String to format: My name is {0} and my email is {1}. I said: my name is {0}.
