Instead of this check, just try ParseInt and then fallback to ParseFloat if it fails, this will give us octal support and allow 0XFF to work as well. Also, can you add a similar conversion for the unsigned type as well?

Hey @danielnelson , thanks for you advices. That's now done (refactoring + string hexa to uint converter). Unfortunately, there is one issue in the CI. CircleCI is OK but Appveyor failed. I may be wrong but I think it's not because of my code (the error is failed to write dep tree: failed to export golang.org/x/crypto: (1) failed to list versions for https://go.googlesource.com/crypto: fatal: remote error: Internal Server 🤔 ). Am I wrong ?

Sorry about that, just having some issues lately with our builds on appveyor, I'm sure its unrelated.
Required for all PRs:
This commit add a conversion between a string hexadecimal (e.g: '0x2A') and an integer (e.g: 42). It's some change I needed because, for a project, I need to consume metrics from an HTTP endpoint. Those metrics are in hexadecimal.
I did not modified the README yet (not sure I had to mention this new case). I can do it if needed.
If someone sees how to make this commit "cleaner" in term of how it's coded, feel free to give your advices ! 😃
