sha256 decode\encode

[hasket]

What feature or new tool do you think should be added to DevToys?

Hello. Can you add sha256 decoder\encoder for text and files?

Why do you think this is needed?

I think sha256 more security than base64. This feature is important in my work every day. You'll save my mental health.

Regarding the decoder, sha256 is a (one-way) hash function, not an encoding like Base64. Therefore, there is no such thing as a "sha256 decoder".
Various websites try to decrypt a sha256 hash into the input string using very limited rainbow tables. I believe DevToys (core) should not include a tool for decrypting hashes using rainbow tables. Interested developers may include it through extensions.

Regarding the encoder, DevToys already supports sha256 hashing on Generators > Hash / Checksum.
