Module documentation for 0.1.3

Data
- Data.Text
  - Data.Text.Short
    - Data.Text.Short.Partial
    - Data.Text.Short.Unsafe

Depends on 7 packages(full list with versions):

base, binary, bytestring, deepseq, ghc-prim, hashable, text

Used by 12 packages in lts-18.28(full list with versions):

base16, base16-lens, base32, base32-lens, base64, base64-lens, cassava, core-program, core-text, primitive-unlifted, text-show-instances, utf8-conversions

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.

Changes

0.1.3

Add Data ShortText instance
Define Typeable ShortText also for GHC 7.8 as well (NB: for GHC 7.10.3 and up Typeable instances are automatically defined even when not mentioned explicitly in a deriving clause)
Add equivalent verb Data.Text.split to Data.Text.Short API
```
split :: (Char -> Bool) -> ShortText -> [ShortText]
```

0.1.2

Add IsList ShortText and PrintfArg ShortText instances

Expose partial functions via new Data.Text.Short.Partial module

foldl1 :: (Char -> Char -> Char) -> ShortText -> Char
foldl1' :: (Char -> Char -> Char) -> ShortText -> Char
foldr1 :: (Char -> Char -> Char) -> ShortText -> Char
head :: ShortText -> Char
index :: ShortText -> Int -> Char
init :: ShortText -> ShortText
last :: ShortText -> Char
tail :: ShortText -> ShortText

Add several Data.Text verbs to Data.Text.Short API

any :: (Char -> Bool) -> ShortText -> Bool
