Defined in header <fkYAML/node.hpp>

fkyaml::basic_node::string_type

using string_type = StringType;

The type used to store integer node values and keys for mapping nodes.

To store string objects in basic_node class, the type is defined by the template parameter StringType which chooses the type to use for string objects.
If not explicitly specified, the default type std::string will be chosen.
Note that string objects are stored as pointers to the decided type in a basic_node so that the internal storage size will at most be 8 bytes.

Example 
#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <type_traits>
#include <fkYAML/node.hpp>

int main() {
    std::cout << std::boolalpha << std::is_same<std::string, fkyaml::node::string_type>::value << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

output: 

true
