text-short: Memory-efficient representation of Unicode text strings
This is a package candidate release! Here you can preview how this package release will appear once published to the main package index (which can be accomplished via the 'maintain' link below). Please note that once a package has been published to the main package index it cannot be undone! Please consult the package uploading documentation for more information.
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 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.
