text-short-0.1.5: Memory-efficient representation of Unicode text strings
This package provides the
ShortText
type which is suitable for keeping many short strings in memory. This is similiar to how
ShortByteString
relates to
ByteString
.
The main difference between
Text
and
ShortText
is that
ShortText
uses UTF-8 instead of UTF-16 internally and also doesn't support zero-copy slicing (thereby saving 2 words). Consequently, the memory footprint of a (boxed)
ShortText
value is 4 words (2 words when unboxed) plus the length of the UTF-8 encoded payload.
