-- This example is basically the same as in Simplest.hs, only it uses
-- GHC's builtin generics instead of explicit instances of ToJSON and
-- FromJSON.

-- This example only works with GHC 7.2 or newer, as it uses the
-- datatype-generic programming machinery introduced in 7.2.

-- We enable the DeriveGeneric language extension so that GHC can
-- automatically derive the Generic class for us.

-- make the type an instance of the Generic class.

-- While we still have to declare our type as instances of FromJSON
