Hi, REBOL can do it all, although with some type conversions.
Encoding, step by step:
>> string: "this is a string"
== "this is a string"
>> binary: to-binary string
== #{74686973206973206120737472696E67}
>> binary-as-string: form binary
== "#{74686973206973206120737472696E67}"
>> hex-string: copy next next head remove back tail binary-as-string
== "74686973206973206120737472696E67"
Decoding, step by step:
>> binary-as-string-again: join "#{" [ hex-string "}" ]
== "#{74686973206973206120737472696E67}"
>> binary-again: do binary-as-string-again
== #{74686973206973206120737472696E67}
>> string-again: to-string binary-again
== "this is a string"
