std::experimental::basic_string_view - cppreference.com

From cppreference.com

Merged into ISO C++ The functionality described on this page was merged into the mainline ISO C++ standard as of 3/2016, see std::basic_string_view (since C++17)
template< 
    class CharT, 
    class Traits = std::char_traits<CharT> 
> class basic_string_view;
(library fundamentals TS)

The class template basic_string_view describes an object that can refer to a constant contiguous sequence of char-like objects with the first element of the sequence at position zero.

A typical implementation holds only two members: a pointer to constant CharT and a size.

Several typedefs for common character types are provided:

Defined in header <experimental/string_view>

Type Definition
std::experimental::string_view std::experimental::basic_string_view<char>
std::experimental::wstring_view std::experimental::basic_string_view<wchar_t>
std::experimental::u16string_view std::experimental::basic_string_view<char16_t>
std::experimental::u32string_view std::experimental::basic_string_view<char32_t>

Template parameters

CharT - character type
Traits - traits class specifying the operations on the character type

Member types

Member type Definition
traits_type Traits
value_type CharT
pointer CharT*
const_pointer const CharT*
reference CharT&
const_reference const CharT&
const_iterator implementation-defined LegacyRandomAccessIterator
iterator const_iterator
reverse_iterator const_reverse_iterator
const_reverse_iterator std::reverse_iterator<const_iterator>
size_type std::size_t
difference_type std::ptrdiff_t

Note: iterator and const_iterator are the same type because string views are views into constant character sequences.
