Windows/Mac file path using std::wstring

[sophiadoan]

Most API in Fusion use std::string such as sendInfoToHTML. How do we support directory paths that require std::wstring?

I didn't know the answer to this either but asked one of the Fusion API developers. Here's his response:

The API always deals in utf8 strings. You can convert to and from other standards as necessary with std::codecvt (or any other utility). Windows SDKs use utf16, so you could use std::codecvt_utf8_utf16 to convert back and forth with utf16 wide strings. Or use std::codecvt_utf8 if you need to go between utf32 (or ucs2).
