streamly-bytestring

Library for streamly and bytestring interoperation.

If you are writing code from scratch, please use Streamly.Memory.Array which is a generalization of ByteString and better integrated with streamly.

This library is to enable interoperation of streamly with existing code that uses ByteString.

The package provides APIs to interconvert between strict Bytestring and streamly Array Word8 and between lazy Bytestring and stream of Array Word8.

The interconversion in the case of strict Bytestring and streamly Array Word8 has no overhead as the underlying representation of ByteString and Array are the same, we just need to rewrap the data in a different type.

Usage

This is a dumb program that counts the number of bytes in a file.

import Streamly
import qualified Streamly.Prelude as S

import qualified Data.ByteString as BS
import qualified Data.ByteString.Lazy as BSL

import qualified Streamly.External.ByteString as Strict
import qualified Streamly.External.ByteString.Lazy as Lazy

import System.IO (FilePath)

strictByteStringSize :: BS.ByteString -> IO Int
strictByteStringSize bs = S.length $ S.unfold Strict.read bs

lazyByteStringSize :: BSL.ByteString -> IO Int
lazyByteStringSize bsl = S.foldl' (+) 0
                         $ S.mapM strictByteStringSize
                         $ S.map Strict.fromArray
                         $ Lazy.toChunks bsl

fileSize :: FilePath -> IO Int
fileSize path = do
    bsl <- BSL.readFile path
    lazyByteStringSize bsl
