|
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 (see "Data.Text").
|
|
It also provides a range of functions for converting 'Text' values to
|
|
and from 'ByteStrings', using several standard encodings
|
|
(see "Data.Text.Encoding").
|
|
|
|
Efficient locale-sensitive support for text IO is also supported
|
|
(see "Data.Text.IO").
|
|
|
|
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](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/text-icu)
|
|
based on the well-respected and liberally
|
|
licensed [ICU library](http://site.icu-project.org/).
