import gleam/string_tree.{type StringTree}
/// `StringBuilder` is a type used for efficiently building text content to be
/// written to a file or a socket. Internally it is represented as tree so to
/// append or prepend to a string builder is a constant time operation that
/// allocates a new node in the tree without copying any of the content. When
/// writing to an output stream the tree is traversed and the content is sent
/// directly rather than copying it into a single buffer beforehand.
///
/// On Erlang this type is compatible with Erlang's iodata. On JavaScript this
/// type is compatible with normal strings.
///
/// The BEAM virtual machine has an optimisation for appending strings, where it
/// will mutate the string buffer when safe to do so, so if you are looking to
/// build a string through appending many small strings then you may get better
/// performance by not using a string builder. Always benchmark your performance
/// sensitive code.
