I have a byte array which I would like to return as std::string::String. The other answers and docs I found were converting Vectors to strings.
How would I convert a byte array &[u8] to a String?

Specifically [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/19076878/155423) does exactly what you want. – Shepmaster May 20 '18 at 14:06

It's working with std::str::from_utf8:
std::str::from_utf8(byte_array).unwrap().to_string();

If you want a `String`, you can also use: `String::from_utf8(byte_array.to_vec()).unwrap()` – Venryx Mar 08 '22 at 18:38
