Crate u8char 

u8char provides the type u8char, which is similar to char but represented internally as UTF-8 to allow lower-cost usage in conjunction with str and String.

Features

This package currently supports the feature unstable_niches, which is disabled by default. This can be enabled only on nightly builds of Rust and uses some perma-unstable features to try to make Option<u8char> have the same size as u8char. Without this feature Option<u8char> will be larger than u8char, whereas the Rust compiler knows that built-in char only stores valid Unicode scalar values and Option<char> has the same size as char.

Modules

error

UTF-8 parse errors.

iter

Implementations of the AsU8Chars extension trait.

stream

Streaming parsing and translation of incoming UTF-8 bytes into u8char.

util

Additional helper functions that are used in the implementation of crate::u8char and exported in case they are useful for “off-menu” uses of that type, such as when using unsafe code.

Structs

u8char

A representation of a Unicode scalar value that has the same representation as if the same scalar value were used as part of a str.

Traits

AsU8Chars

Convenience trait for obtaining an iterator over the characters of a str as u8char.
