Nice timing!

I published the hexfloat2 crate within hours of you publishing this one. I find it amusing after many years of not much progress in this area we both built similar things at the same time.
So, high five, I guess :)
I like how your tests document some of the Golang and C++ behavior!
Hey, that's pretty cool, and you got to parsing too - that was lower priority for me and hexf was already doing it (though I haven't tested its ability to do the right thing yet); I figured I'd eventually get to it and make a consistent round-trip utility, but parsing is less important to my needs right now at least. I'll get your crate onto my readme when I do my next round of updates.
Did you know Rust used to do this in the standard library btw? https://www.cs.brandeis.edu/~cs146a/rust/doc-02-21-2015/std/f64/fn.to_str_hex.html
That's interesting; I wonder why they dropped the std support.
I've also forked the conv library here, in the hope of modernizing the code. It's built out of a lot of dense macros, so it's a bit of a big task to sort out how the original code worked. My hope would be to maintain most of the original functionality while improving the readability of the code.
