Catalysis of the reaction: a carboxylic ester + H2O = an alcohol + a carboxylic anion. Catalysis of the reaction: a carboxylic ester + H2O = an alcohol + a carboxylic anion, where the carboxylic chain has 8 or fewer carbon atoms. Catalysis of the hydrolysis of any ester bond. Catalysis of the reaction: an acetic ester + H2O = an alcohol + acetate.
