Release %%VERSION%%
Astring exposes an alternative String
module for OCaml. This module
tries to balance minimality and expressiveness for basic, index-free,
string processing and provides types and functions for substrings,
string sets and string maps.
Remaining compatible with the OCaml String
module is a non-goal. The
String
module exposed by Astring has exception safe functions,
removes deprecated and rarely used functions, alters some signatures
and names, adds a few missing functions and fully exploits OCaml's
newfound string immutability.
Astring depends only on the OCaml standard library. It is distributed under the BSD3 license.

Astring can be installed with opam
:
opam install astring
If you don't use opam
consult the opam
file for build
instructions.
The documentation and API reference is automatically generated by
ocamldoc
from the interfaces. It can be consulted online
and there is a generated version in the doc
directory of the
distribution.
If you installed Astring with opam
sample programs are located in
the directory opam config var astring:doc
.
In the distribution sample programs are located in the test
directory of the distribution. They can be built with:
ocamlbuild -use-ocamlfind test/tests.otarget
The resulting binaries are in _build/test
.
test.native
tests the library, nothing should fail.
