ByteString: Fast, Packed Strings of Bytes
This library provides the Data.ByteString
module -- strict and lazy
byte arrays manipulable as strings -- providing very time/space-efficient
string and IO operations.
For very large data requirements, or constraints on heap size,
Data.ByteString.Lazy
is provided, a lazy list of bytestring chunks.
Efficient processing of multi-gigabyte data can be achieved this way.
The library also provides Data.ByteString.Builder
for efficient construction
of ByteString
values from smaller pieces during binary serialization.
Requirements:
- Cabal 1.10 or greater
- GHC 8.0 or greater
Authors
ByteString
was derived from the GHC PackedString
library,
originally written by Bryan O'Sullivan, and then by Simon Marlow.
It was adapted and greatly extended for darcs by David Roundy and
others. Don Stewart and Duncan Coutts cleaned up and further extended
the implementation and added the .Lazy
code. Simon Meier contributed
the Builder
feature.
