# std::experimental::basic_string_view::data

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | experimental‎ | basic string view

constexpr const_pointer data() const; |  | (library fundamentals TS)

Returns a pointer to the underlying character array. The pointer is such that the range [data(); data() + size()) is valid and the values in it correspond to the values of the view. (n.b. Unlike `basic_string::data()` and string literals, `data()` may return a pointer to a buffer that is not null-terminated. Therefore it is typically a mistake to pass `data()` to a routine that takes just a `const CharT*` and expects a null-terminated string.)

### [edit] Parameters

(none)

### [edit] Return value

A pointer to the underlying character array.

### [edit] Exceptions

`noexcept` specification:
noexcept

### [edit] Complexity

Constant.
