I think the standard way would be to use Show and Read and then send/write/rcv/read strings from the network/disk. Or you could use the Binary class to get binary representations, but these (sometimes, depending on which implementation you use) have endianness issues if you're transmitting between different architectures.

Hi all,
sorry if it's a FAQ or I'm simply too dumb to look in the right places.
What I want to do is to send Haskell values over a network to another Haskell process. Or save a Haskell value on disk and read it in in a later incarnation of the same pogram, or with a different program.
Is there a good way to do this? Or, even better: a good way to find the right documentation for this sort of thing?
