In general, I don't use java anymore so I can provide just some feedback and what I would like to see in my original project.
It would be nice to have not just parser but also writer functionality in the library. Not sure about the name of the library. :-D
But, I don't like much the way you mix the parsing and writing. IMHO, there should be separate functionality that has e.g. ability to convert byte[] or MemoryRegions and happen to be able to also receive streaming input from the parser if necessary. This should be somehow part of the library so the CLI tools are just using existing functionality.

Isn't it better to have a method public byte getChecksum() to calculate checksum here?

To be honest, I really don't understand what it should do and how to use it.

This is somehow strange. get is really not a good name for the method.
It would be better to add BufferedWriter as a parameter and directly write to it instead of an intermediate StringBuilder.

Please avoid filler words like "just".

The usual name for this functionality is hexdump.

||
| for (int i = 0; i < inputArray.length; i++) { | ||
| String hex = Integer.toHexString(inputArray[i] & 0xFF).toUpperCase().trim(); |

| sb.append(new String(new char[2 - hex.length()]).replace('\0', '0')) |

xxd style output make more sense form me in tools like this.
| try (BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(destination))) { | ||
|
|
||
| //cuts data to 16 bytes blocks | ||
| //if 0xFF are redundant, skip it |

this code is somehow hard to understand

I have a another thing. I do someting as a simple HEX editor. The editor is able replace or add some of bytes and save it back to the hex file. The merge is not ready yet, I must do more test with real data. Just look around and say if it is interenting for merge or not.
PS: I will do Bin2Hex too.
Thanks
