NAME

       JE::String - JavaScript string value

SYNOPSIS

         use JE;
         use JE::String;

         $j = JE->new;

         $js_str = new JE::String $j, "etetfyoyfoht";

         $perl_str = $js_str->value;

         $js_str->to_object; # retuns a new JE::String::Object;

DESCRIPTION

       This class implements JavaScript string values for JE. The difference in use between this and
       JE::Object::String is that that module implements string objects, while this module implements the
       primitive values.

       The stringification operator is overloaded.

THE FUNCTION

       There are two exportable functions, "surrogify" and "desurrogify", which convert characters outside the
       BMP into surrogate pairs, and convert surrogate pairs in the string input argument into the characters
       they represent, respectively, and return the modified string. E.g.:

         use JE::String qw 'desurrogify surrogify';

         {
                 no warnings 'utf8';
                 $str = "\x{d834}\x{dd2b}";
         }

         $str = desurrogify $str;  # $str now contains "\x{1d12b}" (double flat)
         $str = surrogify $str;    # back to "\x{d834}\x{dd2b}"
