+* String and `[]byte` buffers may converted without memory allocations
+```go
+func b2s(b []byte) string {
+    return *(*string)(unsafe.Pointer(&b))
+}
+
+func s2b(s string) (b []byte) {
+    bh := (*reflect.SliceHeader)(unsafe.Pointer(&b))
+    sh := (*reflect.StringHeader)(unsafe.Pointer(&s))
+    bh.Data = sh.Data
+    bh.Cap = sh.Len
+    bh.Len = sh.Len
+    return b
+}
+```
+
+### Warning:
+This is an **unsafe** way, the result string and `[]byte` buffer share the same bytes.
+
+**Please make sure not to modify the bytes in the `[]byte` buffer if the string still survives!**
