1Text: Fast, packed Unicode strings, using stream fusion
2-------------------------------------------------------
4This package provides the Data.Text library, a library for the space-
5and time-efficient manipulation of Unicode text in Haskell.
8Normalization, conversion, and collation, oh my!
9------------------------------------------------
11This library intentionally provides a simple API based on the Haskell
12prelude's list manipulation functions. For more complicated
13real-world tasks, such as Unicode normalization, conversion to and
14from a larger variety of encodings, and collation, use the text-icu
15package:
17 http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/text-icu
19That library uses the well-respected and liberally licensed ICU
20library to provide these facilities.

32The base code for this library was originally written by Tom Harper,
33based on the stream fusion framework developed by Roman Leshchinskiy,
34Duncan Coutts, and Don Stewart. The core library was fleshed out,
35debugged, and tested by Bryan O'Sullivan.
