[null,null,["Last updated 2023-10-06 UTC."],[],["The `String.length()` method calculates the number of characters in a string. It takes a string as input (`this: string`) and returns an integer representing the string's length. For example, an empty string returns a length of 0, while the string 'abc123' returns a length of 6. This function can be used in both JavaScript and Python (using the `ee` library and `geemap`).\n"]]
