inline std::string carb::settings::getStringFromItemValue(

Retrieves a std::string from a setting key for simplicity.

Typically to retrieve a string value from carb::dictionary::Item, ISettings::createStringBufferFromItemValue() must be called, but this means that ISettings::destroyStringBuffer() must be called when finished. This function instead returns a std::string.

Parameters:

• settings – The acquired ISettings interface.

• path – The setting key path to retrieve.

• defaultValue – The value that is returned if path is not a valid path.

Returns:

A std::string representation of the item value.
