Convert Bytes to and from Text and ShortText.

Documentation

fromShortText :: ShortText -> Bytes

Encode ShortText using UTF-8. Since ShortText is backed by a UTF-8 byte sequence, this does not perform a copy.

toShortText :: Bytes -> Maybe ShortText

Attempt to interpret the byte sequence as UTF-8 encoded text. Returns Nothing if the bytes are not UTF-8 encoded text.
