[![build-status]](https://travis-ci.org/abhinav/pinch) `pinch` aims to provide an alternative implementation of Apache Thrift for Haskell. The `pinch` library itself acts only as a serialization library. Types specify their Thrift encoding by defining instances of the `Pinchable` typeclass, which may be done by hand or automatically with the use of Generics. Check the documentation and examples for more information. Haddock documentation for this package is avilable on [Hackage] and [here].
