lib.rs:

A crate for borrowing strings without a lifetime.

Example

use detached_str::{Str, StrSlice};

let string: Str = "Hello, world!".into();
let slice: StrSlice = string.get(7..);
assert_eq!(slice.to_str(&string), "world!");

A StrSlice is "detached", i.e. the string content can only be accessed when you have a reference to the owned string. The owned string is immutable to ensure that string slices remain valid.
