Synopsis: Memory-efficient representation of Unicode text strings
Description:
This package provides the ShortText
type which is suitable for keeping many short strings in memory. This is similar 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.
