Re: Splitting Network.URI from the network package

Soostone just started working on a uri-bytestring package. It's not quite ready for hackage yet, but it is pretty useable. https://github.com/Soostone/uri-bytestring On Fri, Aug 15, 2014 at 4:11 PM, Carter Schonwald wrote:

+1 to this. Evolving the lib to support text too would be high roi.

I'd be happy to help maintain URI if that sort of change / evolution was in scope for how to evolve it.

network-uri should be preferred over other "uri" packages [1]

Tbh, I don't like the current Network.URI API, as it's heavily 'String' based. If you have process/store a lot of URIs you incur a measurable overhead.

Fwiw, this has been noticed in the past:

- http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2012-March/100004.html

- http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.libraries/18761

However, I am not aware of any Network.URI replacement based on 'Text' or 'ByteString' yet. So far I've just coded up minimal URL parsers that worked on a small subset of the URI grammer when I wanted something more efficient.
