//! Ways to create a `str` from bytes slice. use crate::mem; use super::validations::run_utf8_validation; use super::Utf8Error; /// Converts a slice of bytes to a string slice. /// /// A string slice ([`&str`]) is made of bytes ([`u8`]), and a byte slice /// ([`&[u8]`][byteslice]) is made of bytes, so this function converts between /// the two. Not all byte slices are valid string slices, however: [`&str`] requires /// that it is valid UTF-8. `from_utf8()` checks to ensure that the bytes are valid /// UTF-8, and then does the conversion. /// /// [`&str`]: str /// [byteslice]: slice /// /// If you are sure that the byte slice is valid UTF-8, and you don't want to /// incur the overhead of the validity check, there is an unsafe version of /// this function, [`from_utf8_unchecked`], which has the same /// behavior but skips the check. /// /// If you need a `String` instead of a `&str`, consider /// [`String::from_utf8`][string]. /// /// [string]: ../../std/string/struct.String.html#method.from_utf8 /// /// Because you can stack-allocate a `[u8; N]`, and you can take a /// [`&[u8]`][byteslice] of it, this function is one way to have a /// stack-allocated string.
