Azure Parse incoming hex data from IoT Hub

I have a device which sends data in the form of Hexadecimal value based on an algorithm to IoT Hub. I want to parse that data into a json string to store it in Cosmos DB. Is there any way to achieve this?

I would like to add to Roman's comment on your question, he's right to offer this link to Stream Analytics. It will get the job done. Depending on how many devices you have and how often you are receiving telemetry, you might want to consider using Azure Functions instead. See this sample on how to integrate Azure Functions between IoT Hub and CosmosDB.

The reason I offer this extra solution is that a Stream Analytics Job will cost you a fixed price per hour per streaming unit, while a Function is paid by consumption. Because the conversion from hexadecimal is a fairly small Function, you might even use it for free whereas a Stream Analytics Job in West Europe will cost at least 74 Euros.
