Description

Efficient constructions of lazy bytestrings.

This now re-exports Builder.

Synopsis

The Builder type

data Builder :: * Source #

Builders denote sequences of bytes. They are Monoids where mempty is the zero-length sequence and mappend is concatenation, which runs in O(1).

Instances

Semigroup Builder
Methods (<>) :: Builder -> Builder -> Builder Source # sconcat :: NonEmpty Builder -> Builder Source # stimes :: Integral b => b -> Builder -> Builder Source #
Monoid Builder
Methods mempty :: Builder Source # mappend :: Builder -> Builder -> Builder Source # mconcat :: [Builder] -> Builder Source #

toLazyByteString :: Builder -> ByteString Source #

Execute a Builder and return the generated chunks as a lazy ByteString. The work is performed lazy, i.e., only when a chunk of the lazy ByteString is forced.

Constructing Builders

empty :: Builder Source #

O(1). The empty Builder, satisfying

```
toLazyByteString empty = empty
```

singleton :: Word8 -> Builder Source #

O(1). A Builder taking a single byte, satisfying

toLazyByteString (singleton b) = singleton b

append :: Builder -> Builder -> Builder Source #

O(1). The concatenation of two Builders, an associative operation with identity empty, satisfying

toLazyByteString (append x y) = append (toLazyByteString x) (toLazyByteString y)

fromByteString :: ByteString -> Builder Source #

O(1). A Builder taking a ByteString, satisfying

toLazyByteString (fromByteString bs) = fromChunks [bs]

fromLazyByteString :: ByteString -> Builder Source #

O(1). A Builder taking a lazy ByteString, satisfying

toLazyByteString (fromLazyByteString bs) = bs

fromShortByteString :: ShortByteString -> Builder Source #

O(n). A builder taking ShortByteString and copy it to a Builder, satisfying

@toLazyByteString (fromShortByteString bs) = fromChunks [fromShort bs]

Flushing the buffer state

flush :: Builder Source #

Flush the current buffer. This introduces a chunk boundary.

Derived Builders

Big-endian writes

putWord16be :: Word16 -> Builder Source #

Write a Word16 in big endian format

putWord32be :: Word32 -> Builder Source #

Write a Word32 in big endian format

putWord64be :: Word64 -> Builder Source #

Write a Word64 in big endian format

putInt16be :: Int16 -> Builder Source #

Write a Int16 in big endian format

putInt32be :: Int32 -> Builder Source #

Write a Int32 in big endian format

putInt64be :: Int64 -> Builder Source #

Write a Int64 in big endian format

Little-endian writes

putWord16le :: Word16 -> Builder Source #

Write a Word16 in little endian format

putWord32le :: Word32 -> Builder Source #

Write a Word32 in little endian format

putWord64le :: Word64 -> Builder Source #

Write a Word64 in little endian format

putInt16le :: Int16 -> Builder Source #

Write a Int16 in little endian format

putInt32le :: Int32 -> Builder Source #

Write a Int32 in little endian format

putInt64le :: Int64 -> Builder Source #

Write a Int64 in little endian format

Host-endian, unaligned writes

putWordhost :: Word -> Builder Source #

O(1). A Builder taking a single native machine word. The word is written in host order, host endian form, for the machine you're on. On a 64 bit machine the Word is an 8 byte value, on a 32 bit machine, 4 bytes. Values written this way are not portable to different endian or word sized machines, without conversion.

putWord16host :: Word16 -> Builder Source #

Write a Word16 in native host order and host endianness. 2 bytes will be written, unaligned.

putWord32host :: Word32 -> Builder Source #

Write a Word32 in native host order and host endianness. 4 bytes will be written, unaligned.

putWord64host :: Word64 -> Builder Source #

Write a Word64 in native host order. On a 32 bit machine we write two host order Word32s, in big endian form. 8 bytes will be written, unaligned.

putInthost :: Int -> Builder Source #

O(1). A Builder taking a single native machine word. The word is written in host order, host endian form, for the machine you're on. On a 64 bit machine the Int is an 8 byte value, on a 32 bit machine, 4 bytes. Values written this way are not portable to different endian or word sized machines, without conversion.

putInt16host :: Int16 -> Builder Source #

Write a Int16 in native host order and host endianness. 2 bytes will be written, unaligned.

putInt32host :: Int32 -> Builder Source #

Write a Int32 in native host order and host endianness. 4 bytes will be written, unaligned.

putInt64host :: Int64 -> Builder Source #

Write a Int64 in native host order. On a 32 bit machine we write two host order Int32s, in big endian form. 8 bytes will be written, unaligned.

Unicode

putCharUtf8 :: Char -> Builder Source #

Write a character using UTF-8 encoding.

putStringUtf8 :: String -> Builder Source #

Write a String using UTF-8 encoding.
