-version: 0.0.0.1
+version: 0.0.0.2
synopsis: Text pipes.
description: Many of the pipes and other operations defined here mirror those in
the `pipes-bytestring` library. Folds like `length` and grouping
operations like `lines` simply adjust for the differences between
- `ByteString` and `Text` and `Word8` and `Char`. The distinctive feature
- of the library is the `Text/ByteString` encoding and decoding apparatus.
+ `ByteString` and `Text` and `Word8` and `Char`. It is hoped that this
+ homogeneity will aid in learning the terms and programming style associated
+ with both of them.
.
- To this core are added some simple functions akin to the `String`
+ The most distinctive addition of the library to that core is the
+ apparatus for encoding and decoding `Text` and `ByteString`.
+ .
+ Also defined are some simple functions akin to the `String`
operations in `Pipes.Prelude`, and others like the utilities in `Data.Text`.
.
All of the `IO` operations defined here - e.g `readFile`, `stdout` etc.
