This trait wraps a String that is limited to a certain maximum length. Classes implementing this trait expose create and tryCreate methods to safely (and non-safely) construct such a String.

The canonical use case for LengthLimitedStrings is ensuring that we don't write too long strings into the database. This validation generally occurs on the server side and not on the client side. Concretely, this means that the Admin API and Ledger API gRPC services is the point where we validate that the received Protobuf Strings are not too long (and convert them into LengthLimitedStrings). On the client side, e.g. at the console, we generally take normal String types.

For longer strings, directly inherit from AbstractLengthLimitedString.
