-- | A string type optimized for size in memory
--   
--   A string type offering very little memory overhead. No string
--   manipulation functions are offered.
--   
--   Equality and ordinal comparison aim to be competitive with the String
--   type.
@package smallstring
@version 0.1.0


-- | The SmallString type is for storing small identifiers. We do not
--   provide fast operations on strings - what we offer is low memory
--   overhead.
--   
--   The Ord instance is not guaranteed to be the same as that of the
--   corresponding string.
module Data.SmallString

-- | A space efficient representation of text. This is like a strict
--   ByteString, but with fewer features, and UTF preserving. Fow ASCII
--   data, we're slightly smaller than ByteStrings for small strings.
data SmallString

-- | Convert a String into a SmallString.
fromString :: String -> SmallString

-- | Convert a SmallString into a String.
