Data.ByteString.Conversion.To

Synopsis

Documentation

class ToByteString a where Source

Methods

builder :: a -> Builder Source

Instances

data Builder :: *

Builders denote sequences of bytes. They are Monoids where mempty is the zero-length sequence and mappend is concatenation, which runs in O(1).

Instances

toByteString :: ToByteString a => a -> ByteString Source

toByteString' :: ToByteString a => a -> ByteString Source

Please note that this needs to convert from a lazy ByteString to a strict one which involves copying the whole string.

runBuilder :: Builder -> ByteString Source
