Q: Why so many std dependencies for just strings?
A:This library has some functions that apply the transform function as well as return vectors. There are other functions meant to convert data types into strings which also increase the needed dependencies.
Q: Is this library faster or quicker than things found in C++17 and/or boost?
A: Most likely not. This is a small library meant to use C++11 at most. Our game engine uses this library for string manipulation and haven’t experienced any drops in frames.
