+### What it does
+
+Checks for usage of `""` to create a `String`, such as `"".to_string()`, `"".to_owned()`,
+`String::from("")` and others.
+
+### Why is this bad?
+
+Different ways of creating an empty string makes your code less standardized, which can
+be confusing.
+
+### Example
+```
+let a = "".to_string();
+let b: String = "".into();
+```
+Use instead:
+```
+let a = String::new();
+let b = String::new();
+```
