Documentation

Generate MD5 hash digest from input string or bytes.

This transform computes the MD5 hash of the input text and returns the hexadecimal digest string. The input can be any string or bytes-like object.

Notes:

• Always returns a 32-character hexadecimal string
• Input is encoded as UTF-8 if not already bytes
• Not suitable for cryptographic purposes (use stronger hashes for security)
• Consistent output for same input across different platforms

Flags

Flag	Letter
noncaptive_input	I

Examples

Basic hashing

Input args: ["hello"]
Transforms: "md5:"
Output: "5d41402abc4b2a76b9719d911017c592"

With bytes input

Input args: ["hello"]
Transforms: "md5:"
Output: "5d41402abc4b2a76b9719d911017c592"
