Crate tinyvec_string

tinyvec based string types.

tinyvec_string provides two string types:

• ArrayString, a string backed by a fixed-size array on the stack, using ArrayVec
• TinyString, a string backed by either a fixed-size array on the stack or a Vec on the heap, using TinyVec

Features

Like tinyvec, tinyvec_string is no_std by default.

ArrayString has no dependencies (other than tinyvec and core).

TinyString requires the the alloc cargo feature to be enabled because it has a dependency on alloc:

[dependencies]
tinyvec_string = { version = "0.1.0", features = ["alloc"] }

Error types implement std::error::Error when the std feature is enabled.

Safety

This crate strives to be as safe as possible. Almost all internal unsafe code is copied verbatim from std's String implementation for maximum reliability and performance. That said, this unsafe code is relying on tinyvec, which is 100% safe. The implication of this is that if you implement Array, a safe trait to implement, on your own type incorrectly (not always returning the same slice), then you could have memory safety problems. Using this crate with the primitive array types ([u8; N]) will cause no problems.
