Text
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
