Hi,

I am looking for an unicode strings  library, I found on hackage:

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/compact-string

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/text

They both look solid and functionally complete so ... I don't know which one to use :-)

As I am sure I am not the first one facing this choice, may I ask which one you preferred and why?

Data.Text

Thanks , but .. why?

Sorry, was on the way out the door. Data.Text has growing use, is well designed, and builds on the pedigree of bytestring and the vector* series of fusion libraries. I trust that code. -- Don
