## ShortStrings

| **ShortStrings.jl is deprecated** |

This is an efficient string format for storing strings using integer types. For example, `UInt32` can hold 3 bytes of string with 1 byte to record the size of the string and a `UInt128` can hold a 15-byte string with 1 byte to record the size of the string.

Using BitIntegers.jl, integer of larger size than `UInt128` can be defined. This package supports string with up to 255 bytes in size.
