data Builder

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

ToByteString Builder

toByteString :: ToByteString a => a -> ByteString

toByteString' :: ToByteString a => a -> ByteString

Please note that this needs to convert from a lazy ByteString to a strict one which involves copying the whole string.
