[back to package description]

aeson-gadt-th

Provides Template Haskell expressions for deriving ToJSON and FromJSON instances for GADTs.

Example Usage:

{-# LANGUAGE GADTs #-}
{-# LANGUAGE KindSignatures #-}
{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
{-# LANGUAGE FlexibleContexts #-}
{-# LANGUAGE FlexibleInstances #-}
{-# LANGUAGE MultiParamTypeClasses #-}

import Data.Aeson
import Data.Aeson.GADT.TH

data A :: * -> * where
  A_a :: A a
  A_b :: Int -> A ()

data B c :: * -> * where
  B_a :: c -> A a -> B c a
  B_x :: B c x

deriveJSONGADT ''A
deriveJSONGADT ''B

main :: IO ()
main = return ()

Encoding:

encode A_a
> "[\"A_a\",[]]"

Decoding:

When decoding a JSON-encoded GADT, the result will be wrapped using Data.Some.This.

case (decode $ encode A_a) :: Maybe (Some A) of
  Nothing -> error "Couldn't decode
  Just (This A_a) -> putStrLn "it worked"
  Just (This A_b) -> putStrLn "wat"
> it worked
