-- | Orphan instances for binary
--   
@package binary-orphans
@version 0.1.0.0


-- | Provides orphan <a>Binary</a> instances for types in various packages:
--   
--   <ul>
--   <li>aeson</li>
--   <li>scientific</li>
--   <li>tagged</li>
--   <li>text (through text-binary, or text &gt;= 1.2.1)</li>
--   <li>time</li>
--   <li>unordered-containers</li>
--   <li>vector (through vector-binary-instances)</li>
--   </ul>
--   
--   Also there is <tt><a>Binary</a> <a>Fixed</a></tt> instance.
module Data.Binary.Orphans

-- | The <a>Binary</a> class provides <a>put</a> and <a>get</a>, methods to
--   encode and decode a Haskell value to a lazy <a>ByteString</a>. It
--   mirrors the <a>Read</a> and <a>Show</a> classes for textual
--   representation of Haskell types, and is suitable for serialising
--   Haskell values to disk, over the network.
--   
--   For decoding and generating simple external binary formats (e.g. C
--   structures), Binary may be used, but in general is not suitable for
--   complex protocols. Instead use the <a>Put</a> and <a>Get</a>
--   primitives directly.
--   
--   Instances of Binary should satisfy the following property:
--   
--   <pre>
--   decode . encode == id
--   </pre>
--   
--   That is, the <a>get</a> and <a>put</a> methods should be the inverse
--   of each other. A range of instances are provided for basic Haskell
--   types.
