Defined in header `<sstream>`
template< class CharT, class Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>, class Allocator = std::allocator<CharT> > class basic_ostringstream : public basic_ostream<CharT, Traits>;

The class template std::basic_ostringstream implements output operations on string based streams. It effectively stores an instance of std::basic_string and performs output operations to it.

At the low level, the class essentially wraps a raw string device implementation of std::basic_stringbuf into a higher-level interface of std::basic_ostream. The complete interface to unique std::basic_stringbuf members is provided.

Inheritance diagram

Several typedefs for common character types are provided:
