Any c++ string library like QString (or Java String)?

I'm working on a windows program using MFC, currently I use std::string and std::wstring, the problems are I have to convert them from each other and handle encoding everywhere.

The QString API looks very decent, it can handle those problems just in one class, so my questions are:

  1. Can I use only QString without depending on whole QT library?
  2. Is there alternatives (A class handling both char and wchar, encoding, etc.)

MFC has its own implementation of the string class: CString https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/atl-mfc-shared/using-cstring?view=vs-2019

  1. Can I use only QString without depending on whole QT library? Yes you can. You havn't to use other Qt libraries.

  2. QString has a lot useful functions to convert the QString into a other type, like:

    std::wstring wString;
    wString = 'w';
    QString qString = QString::fromStdWString(wString);
    std::string sString = qString.toStdString();
    const char * cP = sString.c_str();
    qString = cP;
    wString = qString.toStdWString();
