Apache Tuweni provides support for manipulating bytes.

To get started, install the bytes library.

With Maven:

{% highlight xml %} org.apache.tuweni bytes {{site.data.project.latest_release}} {% endhighlight %}

Or using Gradle:

{% highlight groovy %} implementation(“org.apache.tuweni:bytes:{{site.data.project.latest_release}}”) {% endhighlight %}

The bytes library revolves mainly around the Bytes interface.

This tutorial goes over the main uses of Bytes, from creating them to manipulating them.
