alloc::str - Rust
Description: API documentation for the Rust `str` mod in crate `alloc`.

# 1.0.0[−][src]Module alloc::str

Unicode string slices.

See also the `str` primitive type.

The `&str` type is one of the two main string types, the other being `String`. Unlike its `String` counterpart, its contents are borrowed.

# Basic Usage

A basic string declaration of `&str` type:

    let hello_world = "Hello, World!";

Here we have declared a string literal, also known as a string slice. String literals have a static lifetime, which means the string `hello_world` is guaranteed to be valid for the duration of the entire program. We can explicitly specify `hello_world`'s lifetime as well:

    let hello_world: &'static str = "Hello, world!";
