Detailed Description

character (byte) string class

A string class holds a pointer to the first character of a constant (immutable) text string and the valid length. Strings are expected to be UTF-8 encoded but the encoding is not checked until conversion into other text-formats are performed. Strings need not to be null-terminated. If a string-buffer is attached, the content of the string is bound to the attached buffer. If no buffer is attached, the object points to a foreign region and its allocation must be ensured as long as the string object referres to it.
