# 1.0.0[−][src]Struct alloc::string::FromUtf8Error

    pub struct FromUtf8Error { /* fields omitted */ }

A possible error value when converting a `String` from a UTF-8 byte vector.

This type is the error type for the `from_utf8` method on `String`. It is designed in such a way to carefully avoid reallocations: the `into_bytes` method will give back the byte vector that was used in the conversion attempt.

The `Utf8Error` type provided by `std::str` represents an error that may occur when converting a slice of `u8`s to a `&str`. In this sense, it's an analogue to `FromUtf8Error`, and you can get one from a `FromUtf8Error` through the `utf8_error` method.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    // some invalid bytes, in a vector
    let bytes = vec![0, 159];

    let value = String::from_utf8(bytes);

    assert!(value.is_err());
    assert_eq!(vec![0, 159], value.unwrap_err().into_bytes());

Run

## Implementations

### `impl FromUtf8Error`[src]

#### `pub fn as_bytes(&self) -> &[u8]`1.26.0[src]

Returns a slice of `u8`s bytes that were attempted to convert to a `String`.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    // some invalid bytes, in a vector
    let bytes = vec![0, 159];

    let value = String::from_utf8(bytes);

    assert_eq!(&[0, 159], value.unwrap_err().as_bytes());

Run

#### `pub fn into_bytes(self) -> Vec<u8>`[src]

Returns the bytes that were attempted to convert to a `String`.

This method is carefully constructed to avoid allocation. It will consume the error, moving out the bytes, so that a copy of the bytes does not need to be made.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    // some invalid bytes, in a vector
    let bytes = vec![0, 159];

    let value = String::from_utf8(bytes);

    assert_eq!(vec![0, 159], value.unwrap_err().into_bytes());

Run

#### `pub fn utf8_error(&self) -> Utf8Error`[src]

Fetch a `Utf8Error` to get more details about the conversion failure.

The `Utf8Error` type provided by `std::str` represents an error that may occur when converting a slice of `u8`s to a `&str`. In this sense, it's an analogue to `FromUtf8Error`. See its documentation for more details on using it.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    // some invalid bytes, in a vector
    let bytes = vec![0, 159];

    let error = String::from_utf8(bytes).unwrap_err().utf8_error();

    // the first byte is invalid here
    assert_eq!(1, error.valid_up_to());

Run
