| |
| An efficient packed, immutable Unicode text type (both strict and |
| lazy), with a powerful loop fusion optimization framework. |
| |
| The 'Text' type represents Unicode character strings, in a time and |
| space-efficient manner. This package provides text processing |
| capabilities that are optimized for performance critical use, both |
| in terms of large data quantities and high speed. |
| |
| The 'Text' type provides character-encoding, type-safe case |
| conversion via whole-string case conversion functions. It also |
| provides a range of functions for converting 'Text' values to and from |
| 'ByteStrings', using several standard encodings. |
| |
| Efficient locale-sensitive support for text IO is also supported. |
| |
| These modules are intended to be imported qualified, to avoid name |
| clashes with Prelude functions, e.g. |
| |
| > import qualified Data.Text as T |
| |
| To use an extended and very rich family of functions for working |
| with Unicode text (including normalization, regular expressions, |
| non-standard encodings, text breaking, and locales), see |
| the @text-icu@ package: |
| <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/text-icu> |
