## Notes
#### Default type
### Default type
With the default values for `StringType` (`std::string`), the default value for `string_t` is `#!cpp std::string`.
#### Encoding
### Encoding
Strings are stored in UTF-8 encoding. Therefore, functions like `std::string::size()` or `std::string::length()` return
the number of bytes in the string rather than the number of characters or glyphs.
#### String comparison

This implementation is interoperable as it does compare strings code unit by code unit.
#### Storage
### Storage
String values are stored as pointers in a `basic_json` type. That is, for any access to string values, a pointer of type
`string_t*` must be dereferenced.
#### Cross-`basic_json` conversion requirements
### Cross-`basic_json` conversion requirements
When converting a string value from one `basic_json` specialization to another via the
[converting constructor](basic_json.md#overload-4), the target `string_t` must be directly
[converting constructor](basic_json.md) (overload 4), the target `string_t` must be directly
constructible from the source `basic_json`'s `string_t` type. If this requirement is not met, the
conversion does not fail; instead, the string is silently converted as an array of character codes,
which is incorrect. See [issue #3425](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/3425) for details
