fiftyone.mobile.detection.entities.AsciiString

public class AsciiString
extends BaseEntity

ASCII format strings are the only ones used in the data set. Many native string formats use Unicode format using 2 bytes for every character. This is inefficient when only ASCII values are being stored. The AsciiString class wraps a byte array of ASCII characters and exposes them as a native string type when required.

Strings stored as ASCII strings include, the relevant characters from signatures, sub strings longer than 4 characters, property and value names, the descriptions and URLs associated with properties and values.
