There is only one String type in V8 which is v8::String. You can create an
new String in a number of ways with v8::String::New most commonly used. The
classes v8::String::Utf8Value
and v8::String::Value (and v8::String::AsciiValue which is mainly for
testing) are used to pull out the string as a char* or uint16_t* to be used
in C++, e.g.:
v8::Handle<v8::String> str = v8::String::New("print")
v8::String::Utf8Value s(str);
printf("%s", *s);
Note that v8::String represents the string value (ECMA-262 4.3.16). To
create a string object (ECMA-262 4.3.18) use NewInstance on the String
function.
