#3 and #5 added support for decoding raw binary strings, i.e. leaving the value a a byte array instead of decoding into a string object.
This PR does the same for encoding -- you can now encode a byte array as a string. To do so, create an instance of the new
RawBinaryStringclass that wraps your byte array. This type will encode the byte array contents as a string type.These operations are useful when you must comply with a legacy protocol that uses the string family for values that can contain invalid UTF-8 sequences.
Additionally, during decoding, you can specify the
useRawBinaryStringClassoption for raw binary strings to be decoded as the newRawBinaryStringclass. With this, it's now possible to do a complete round-trip decoding and encoding of an object using raw binary strings.
