isutf8

Whether the string is valid UTF-8.

Every string Berserk stores is valid UTF-8, so this is true for any string, the empty string included.

Syntax

isutf8(value)

Parameters

Prop

Type

Given a dynamic field

This parameter is string-only. In permissive mode — the default — almost every field arrives as a dynamic, so passing one works because Berserk injects asstring: extract-or-null, the value when it really is a string and null otherwise, so the call yields null (a predicate yields false). A property bag or array is therefore not matched, and tostring() is never applied implicitly — use it explicitly to match a bag's JSON text, keys included. Strict mode rejects the dynamic instead of coercing it. See String coercion and the asXXX family.

Returns: bool

Examples

Example 1

print isutf8('Ålesund')
print_0 (bool)
true
