Data.Binary.Generic

The following primitive datatypes are used as basecases and get serialized according to their instances of Data.Binary:

• Char
• Int
• Word
• Integer
• Int8
• Int16
• Int32
• Int64
• Word8
• Word16
• Word32
• Word64
• ByteString
• Text encoded as Utf8

Float and Double are serialized according to IEEE754. For any algebraic datatype just make it an instance of class Data.Data by simply deriving Data on definition or try stand-alone-deriving.
