This library is a UTF-8 compatible string library for the Zig programming language. I made this for the sole purpose to further my experience and understanding of zig. Also it may be useful for some people who need it (including myself), with future projects. Project is also open for people to add to and improve. Please check the issues to view requested features.
const String = @import("./zig-string.zig").String;
// ...
// Use your favorite allocator
var arena = ArenaAllocator.init(std.heap.page_allocator);
defer arena.deinit();
// Create your String
var myString = String.init(&arena.allocator());
defer myString.deinit();
// Use functions provided
try myString.concat("π₯ Hello!");
_ = myString.pop();
try myString.concat(", World π₯");
// Success!
assert(myString.cmp("π₯ Hello, World π₯"));
- Optimizations
- Multi-Language toUppercase & toLowercase
- Better documentation
- More Testing
- Fork
- Clone
- Add Features (Use Zig FMT)
- Make a Test
- Pull Request
- Success!
If there are any issues with complexity please open an issue (I'm no expert when it comes to complexity)
