What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
A single-header C and C++ library providing UTF-8 string manipulation functions mirroring the standard string.h API. It offers utf8-prefixed equivalents of str* functions plus codepoint handling and validation utilities.
Use cases
- handle utf8 strings in c or c++
- count codepoints in a utf8 string
- validate utf8 string data
- portable string functions across linux macos windows
- iterate over unicode codepoints in a string
- drop-in utf8 alternative to string.h
When to choose
- you need lightweight UTF-8 string handling in C/C++ without dependencies
- you want an API familiar from string.h
- you need a single-header, easy-to-vendor solution
When to avoid
- you need full Unicode normalization, case folding, or locale-aware collation
- you need wide-character or UTF-16/UTF-32 support
- you need case-insensitive functions marked incomplete
