This crate provides two string types to work with UTF-16 encoded
bytes, they are directly analogous to how String
and &str
work
with UTF-8 encoded bytes.
UTF-16 can be encoded in little- and big-endian byte order, this crate identifies which encoding the types contain to using a generic byteorder type, thus the main types exposed are:
&WStr<ByteOrder>
WString<ByteOrder>
These types aim to behave very similar to the standard libarary &str
and String
types. While many APIs are already covered, feel free to
contribute more methods.
