All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializer<String>
public class StringBytesextends Object implements Serializer<String>
String serializer using US-ASCII encoding.

Converts between String objects and US-ASCII byte arrays. Only supports 7-bit ASCII characters.

Note: Use only when data is guaranteed to contain only US-ASCII. For Unicode text, use UTF8StringBytes instead.

If string contains characters outside US-ASCII range, an Error is thrown.
