Beast has static_string which someone has asked to be move, is there any interest in moving this to Boost.Container?

What's the advantage over a string_view?

To answer my own question, it's a mutable string_view.

I thought a static_string is a type that owns the string data, so nothing like a string_view (mutable or not) at all. The difference compared to a std::string would be the same as the difference between std::array vs std::vector i.e. the data is stored in a fixed buffer inside the type and not on the heap, which in turn means there is a fixed capacity (configurable via a template parameter). Thats exactly what I see in https://github.com/boostorg/beast/blob/b7230f12f16fe7a9f7a1ece5be1f607c85524... so I'm not sure, where your comparison to string_view comes from. Mike
