Data.Text.Encoding

Functions for converting Text values to and from ByteString, using several standard encodings.

To make use of a much larger variety of encodings, use the text-icu package.

Decoding ByteStrings to Text

decodeASCII :: ByteString -> Text

Decode a ByteString containing 7-bit ASCII encoded text.

decodeUtf8 :: ByteString -> Text

Decode a ByteString containing UTF-8 encoded text.

decodeUtf16LE :: ByteString -> Text

Decode text from little endian UTF-16 encoding.

decodeUtf16BE :: ByteString -> Text

Decode text from big endian UTF-16 encoding.

decodeUtf32LE :: ByteString -> Text

Decode text from little endian UTF-32 encoding.

decodeUtf32BE :: ByteString -> Text

Decode text from big endian UTF-32 encoding.

Controllable error handling

decodeUtf8With :: OnDecodeError -> ByteString -> Text

Decode a ByteString containing UTF-8 encoded text.

decodeUtf16LEWith :: OnDecodeError -> ByteString -> Text

Decode text from little endian UTF-16 encoding.

decodeUtf16BEWith :: OnDecodeError -> ByteString -> Text

Decode text from big endian UTF-16 encoding.

decodeUtf32LEWith :: OnDecodeError -> ByteString -> Text

Decode text from little endian UTF-32 encoding.

decodeUtf32BEWith :: OnDecodeError -> ByteString -> Text

Decode text from big endian UTF-32 encoding.

Encoding Text to ByteStrings

encodeUtf32LE :: Text -> ByteString

Encode text using little endian UTF-32 encoding.

encodeUtf32BE :: Text -> ByteString
