UTF-8 Builder
====================
[](https://github.com/magiclen/utf8-builder/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
Build and validate UTF-8 data from chunks. Each chunk doesn't have to be a complete UTF-8 data.
## Motives and Examples
When we want our Rust program to input a UTF-8 data, we can store all data in the memory and use `String::from_utf8(vec)` to validate it and convert it into a `String` instance.
However, it would be better if we perform UTF-8 validation while fetching and storing the data into the memory. In such a way, if the data is not UTF-8, we don't have to waste the memory space and time to store all of it.
```rust
use utf8_builder::Utf8Builder;
const TEXT1: &str = "is is English.";
const TEXT2: &str = "這是中文。";
let mut builder = Utf8Builder::new();
builder.push(b'T').unwrap();
builder.push_char('h').unwrap();
builder.push_str(TEXT1).unwrap();
builder.push_chunk(TEXT2.as_bytes()).unwrap();
let result = builder.finalize().unwrap();
assert_eq!(format!("Th{}{}", TEXT1, TEXT2), result);
```
