String

A UTF-8 encoded string with configurable byte storage.

Build Status License: MIT Crates.io Documentation

Usage

To use string, first add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
string = "0.3.0"

Next, add this to your crate:

extern crate string;

use string::{String, TryFrom};

let s: String<[u8; 2]> = String::try_from([b'h', b'i']).unwrap();
assert_eq!(&s[..], "hi");

See documentation for more details.


lib.rs:

A UTF-8 encoded string with configurable byte storage.

This crate provides String, a type similar to its std counterpart, but with one significant difference: the underlying byte storage is configurable. In other words, String<T> is a marker type wrapping T, indicating that it represents a UTF-8 encoded string.

For example, one can represent small strings (stack allocated) by wrapping an array:

let s: String<[u8; 2]> = String::try_from([b'h', b'i']).unwrap();
assert_eq!(&s[..], "hi");
