Starling — Unicode string library for Erlang

At a glance:

  • An OTP application, with a C pipe driver under the hood.
  • Based on ICU, the best implementation of Unicode.
  • Strings stored as binaries ⇒ big memory savings.
  • Backwards-compatible (mostly) with the standard string module.
  • Distributed under the new BSD license.
