Remarks

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

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

xtd::ustring is inherited from std::basic_string<char> and therefore offers the full (immutable) API of std::string.

xtd::ustring cannot inherit from xtd::iequatable <xtd::ustring> because std::basic_string<char> defines the == and != operators.

Todo:

replace all class::ustring; definitions by class xtd::string; when switching class xtd::ustring an alias xtd::string to class xtd::string and alias xtd::ustring

Deprecated:

Replaced by xtd::string - Will be removed in version 0.4.0
