-- | Universal string conversions
--   
--   Provide unified conversion functions between any two string-like
--   types.
@package string-convert
@version 4.0.0.1


-- | Provides universal conversions between any two string-like types.
--   Out-of-the-box, <tt>Text</tt> (both lazy and strict),
--   <tt>ByteString</tt> (both lazy and strict), and String, are supported.
--   
--   To hook custom string types into the conversion mechanism, implement
--   both <tt>IsString</tt> and <tt>ToString</tt> for your type.
module Text.StringConvert

-- | Class for string-like datastructures; used by the overloaded string
--   extension (-XOverloadedStrings in GHC).

fromString :: IsString a => String -> a

-- | Defines how a given type should be converted to String. If at all
--   possible, the conversion should be loss-less, and if encodings are
--   involved, UTF-8 should be the default.
