Data.SmallString

An immutable Unicode text type, optimized for low memory overhead. A SmallString typically uses less memory than the corresponding Text. Use SmallString when storing a large number of short texts, for example when indexing a map using words or short phrases.

To manipulate a SmallString, first convert it into a Text. For more information on working with Text, see the text package: http:hackage.haskell.orgpackagetext

The Ord instance is not guaranteed to be the same as that of the corresponding string.
