struct Encodingimport Swiftimport FoundationEssentials@frozen struct StringA Unicode string value that is a collection of characters.
init(_ characters: Slice<AttributedString.CharacterView>) init?<S>(bytes: S, encoding: String.Encoding) where S : Sequence, S.Element == UInt8 Creates a new string equivalent to the given bytes interpreted in the specified encoding. Note: This API does not interpret embedded nulls as termination of the string. Use String?(validatingCString:) instead for null-terminated C strings.
init(contentsOf url: URL, encoding enc: String.Encoding) throws Produces a string created by reading data from a given URL interpreted using a given encoding.
init(contentsOf url: URL, usedEncoding: inout String.Encoding) throws Produces a string created by reading data from a given URL and returns by reference the encoding used to interpret the data.
init(contentsOfFile path: String, encoding enc: String.Encoding) throws Produces a string created by reading data from the file at a given path interpreted using a given encoding.
init(contentsOfFile path: String, usedEncoding: inout String.Encoding) throws Produces a string created by reading data from the file at a given path and returns by reference the encoding used to interpret the file.
init?(data: Data, encoding: String.Encoding) Returns a String initialized by converting given data into Unicode characters using a given encoding.
