description: An efficient packed, immutable Unicode text type (both strict and
lazy).

The Text type represents Unicode character strings, in a time and
space-efficient manner. This package provides text processing
capabilities that are optimized for performance critical use, both
in terms of large data quantities and high speed.

The Text type provides character-encoding, type-safe case
conversion via whole-string case conversion functions (see Data.Text).
It also provides a range of functions for converting Text values to
and from ByteStrings, using several standard encodings
(see Data.Text.Encoding).

Efficient locale-sensitive support for text IO is also supported
(see Data.Text.IO).

These modules are intended to be imported qualified, to avoid name
clashes with Prelude functions, e.g.

To use an extended and very rich family of functions for working
with Unicode text (including normalization, regular expressions,
non-standard encodings, text breaking, and locales), see
the text-icu package
based on the well-respected and liberally
licensed ICU library.
