Data.Bytes.Serial

This module contains two main classes, each providing methods to serialize and deserialize types. Serial is the primary class, to be used for the canonical way to serialize a specific type. SerialEndian is used to provide endian-specific methods for serializing a type.

Serialization

class Serial a where

Methods to serialize and deserialize type a to a binary representation

Instances provided here for fixed-with Integers and Words are big endian. Instances for strict and lazy bytestrings store also the length of bytestring big endian. Instances for Word and Int are host endian as they are machine-specific types.

Methods

serialize :: MonadPut m => a -> m ()

deserialize :: MonadGet m => m a

Specifying endianness

class SerialEndian a where

Methods to serialize and deserialize type a to a big and little endian binary representations. Methods suffixed with host are automatically defined to use equal the methods corresponding to the current machine's native endianness, but they can be overridden.

Methods

serializeBE :: MonadPut m => a -> m ()

deserializeBE :: MonadGet m => m a

serializeLE :: MonadPut m => a -> m ()

deserializeLE :: MonadGet m => m a

serializeHost :: MonadPut m => a -> m ()

deserializeHost :: MonadGet m => m a

Instances

Higher-order

These classes provide us with the ability to serialize containers that need polymorphic recursion.

class Serial1 f where

serializeWith :: MonadPut m => (a -> m ()) -> f a -> m ()

deserializeWith :: MonadGet m => m a -> m (f a)

Instances

Serial1 Maybe

Serial1 Seq

Serial1 IntMap

Serial1 Set

Serial a => Serial1 (Either a)

Serial a => Serial1 ((,) a)

serialize1 :: (MonadPut m, Serial1 f, Serial a) => f a -> m ()

deserialize1 :: (MonadGet m, Serial1 f, Serial a) => m (f a)

class Serial2 f where

Methods

deserializeWith2 :: MonadGet m => m a -> m b -> m (f a b)

Instances

serialize2 :: (MonadPut m, Serial2 f, Serial a, Serial b) => f a b -> m ()

deserialize2 :: (MonadGet m, Serial2 f, Serial a, Serial b) => m (f a b)

Storable

store :: (MonadPut m, Storable a) => a -> m ()

serialize any Storable in a host-specific format.

restore :: forall m a. (MonadGet m, Storable a) => m a

deserialize any Storable in a host-specific format.

Generics

You probably will never need to care that these exist except they provide us with default definitions for Serial and SerialEndian
