Data.Piso

Partial isomorphisms

data Piso a b

Bidirectional isomorphism that is partial in the backward direction.

This can be used to express constructor-deconstructor pairs. For example:

 nil :: Piso t ([a] :- t)
 nil = Piso f g
   where
     f        t  = [] :- t
     g ([] :- t) = Just t
     g _         = Nothing

 cons :: Piso (a :- [a] :- t) ([a] :- t)
 cons = Piso f g
   where
     f (x :- xs  :- t) = (x : xs) :- t
     g ((x : xs) :- t) = Just (x :- xs :- t)
     g _               = Nothing

Here :- can be read as 'cons', forming a stack of values. For example, nil pushes [] onto the stack; or, in the backward direction, tries to remove [] from the stack. Representing constructor-destructor pairs as stack manipulators allows them to be composed more easily.

Module Data.Piso.Common contains Pisos for some common datatypes.

Modules Data.Piso.Generic and Data.Piso.TH offer generic ways of deriving Pisos for custom datatypes.
