Remarks

A string is a sequential collection of characters that's used to represent text. A xtd::u8string object is a sequential collection of xtd::char8 that represent a string; a xtd::char8 corresponds to a UTF-8 code unit. The value of the xtd::u8string object is the content of the sequential collection of xtd::char8, and unlike std::basic_string<char8_t> that value is immutable (that is, it is read-only).

If you want the same mutable string class, you can use xtd::text::u8string_builder class.

xtd::u8string implements xtd::basic_string and therefore offers the full (immutable) API of std::u8string.
