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

-- This mechanism is much slower than the newer generics mechanism
-- demonstrated in Generic.hs, but it works on versions of GHC older
-- than 7.2.

-- We enable the DeriveDataTypeable language extension so that GHC can
-- automatically derive the Typeable and Data classes for us.
