Defined in header <sstream>

template< 
    class CharT, 
    class Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>
> class basic_istringstream;

(until C++11)

template<

    class Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>,
    class Allocator = std::allocator<CharT>
> class basic_istringstream;

(since C++11)

The class template std::basic_istringstream implements input operations on memory (std::basic_string) based streams. It essentially wraps a raw string device implementation (std::basic_stringbuf) into a higher-level interface (std::basic_istream). The complete interface to unique std::basic_stringbuf members is provided.

Two specializations for common character types are also defined:
