rustHow to convert Rust bytes to a string?

To convert Rust bytes to a string, you can use the str::from_utf8 function. This function takes a &[u8] as an argument and returns a Result<&str, Utf8Error>.

Example code

let bytes = b"Hello world!";
let string = str::from_utf8(bytes).unwrap();
println!("{}", string);

Output example

Hello world!

Code explanation

• let bytes = b"Hello world!";: This line creates a byte array containing the string "Hello world!".
• let string = str::from_utf8(bytes).unwrap();: This line calls the str::from_utf8 function with the byte array as an argument. The unwrap method is used to get the &str from the Result<&str, Utf8Error> returned by the function.
• println!("{}", string);: This line prints the string to the console.
