newtype Descriptor s a

Descriptor s a is an applicative functor that describes the binary structure for a structure s while deserializing value a.

Constructors

Descriptor (Get a, s -> Put)

Instances

Monad (Descriptor s)

Defined in Data.Serialize.Descriptor

Methods

(>>=) :: Descriptor s a -> (a -> Descriptor s b) -> Descriptor s b

(>>) :: Descriptor s a -> Descriptor s b -> Descriptor s b

return :: a -> Descriptor s a

fail :: String -> Descriptor s a

Functor (Descriptor s)

Defined in Data.Serialize.Descriptor

Methods

fmap :: (a -> b) -> Descriptor s a -> Descriptor s b

(<$) :: a -> Descriptor s b -> Descriptor s a

Applicative (Descriptor s)

Defined in Data.Serialize.Descriptor

Methods

pure :: a -> Descriptor s a

(<*>) :: Descriptor s (a -> b) -> Descriptor s a -> Descriptor s b

liftA2 :: (a -> b -> c) -> Descriptor s a -> Descriptor s b -> Descriptor s c

(*>) :: Descriptor s a -> Descriptor s b -> Descriptor s b

(<*) :: Descriptor s a -> Descriptor s b -> Descriptor s a

unwrapGet :: Descriptor s a -> Get a

unwrapGet desc takes a Descriptor and returns only the internal Get monad.

unwrapPut :: s -> Descriptor s a -> PutM ()

unwrapPut s desc takes the structure being described and a Descriptor for it, and returns the internal Put monad.

serialize :: s -> Descriptor s a -> ByteString

Convenience function for runPut . unwrapPut s

deserialize :: ByteString -> Descriptor s s -> Either String s

Convenience function for flip runGet bs . unwrapGet
