Binary put and get

Description

Generic Data.Binary instances.

These generic functions can be used to create a Data.Binary instance. For example, for a user-defined type MyType, the following code is necessary:

 import Data.Binary
 import Generics.Regular.Base
 import Generics.Regular.Binary

 data MyType = ...

 $(deriveAll ''MyType "PFMyType")
 type instance PF MyType = PFMyType

 instance Binary MyType where
   put = gput
   get = gget

Synopsis

Binary put and get

class Binary f Source

Instances

Binary I
Binary U
Binary a => Binary (K a)
(Binary f, Binary g) => Binary (:+: f g)
(Binary f, Binary g) => Binary (:*: f g)
Binary f => Binary (C c f)
Binary f => Binary (S s f)

gput :: (Regular a, Binary (PF a)) => a -> Put Source

Generic binary put to be used with Data.Binary.Put.

gget :: (Regular a, Binary (PF a)) => Get aSource

Generic binary get to be used with Data.Binary.Get.
