std::string should be left for text and we should use std::vector<uint8_t> for binary data. If we were in the Qt world, we'd have QString and QByteArray. For IoTivity, I don't think we should use anything but US-ASCII and UTF-8 for text, so we don't need the wider character types. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center
