Crate rawstring 

rawstring provides a string type that can hold data that may or not be valid UTF-8.

Overview

Rust’s standard String and &str types require valid UTF-8, which can be limiting when working with arbitrary binary data. This crate provides the following types as alternatives:

• RawStr: a borrowed view of raw string data
• RawString: an owned raw string type

RawStr and RawString differ from &[u8] and Vec<u8> in that they are treated as text rather than binary data. For example, both types’ Debug and [Display] implementations handle invalid UTF-8 gracefully by replacing invalid sequences with the Unicode replacement character (�). This makes them suitable for logging, user output, and other contexts where human-readable text is desired.
