Package ghc-text: Information

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:
