Overview

Package ref converts bytes to string or string to bytes without reallocating data.

Index

• func Bytes(str string) []byte
• func String(bytes []byte) string

Functions

func Bytes

func Bytes(str string) []byte

Bytes returns string as byte slice, but without copying the bytes. This is useless, actually. The returned slice has no capacity and can not be sub sliced, then using the index on string to access the bytes works as well.

func String

func String(bytes []byte) string

String returns byte slice as string, but without copying the bytes.
