This repository exists to capture the latest and most stable builds for our use.

Features

• Drop-in replacement for std::string
• Very Lightweight ~2k LOC
• Very Fast
• sizeof(utf8_string) = 24bytes (x86)
• Codepoint Range: 0x0 - 0x7FFFFFFF (6 Bytes)
• Single Header file, Single Source file
• NO Exceptions (Defensive Programming)
• Straightforward C++11 design
• Even Understands ANSI Strings (Characters 127-255) (with the above mentioned limitations)
• Prepend the UTF8 BOM (Byte Order Mark) to any string when converting it to an std::string
• Supports raw (Byte-based) access (where Speed is needed)

WHAT TINY-UTF8 DOES NOT:

• conversion between iso encodings and utf8
• other unicode encodings like UTF16 or UTF32
• visible character comparison ('ch' vs. 'c'+'h')
• codepoint normalization
