Binary should be pretty easy to use (and more advisable if you need performance), since it defines the Binary instance for every basic type, including of course Map. I don't know about cereal, but I suppose it will be pretty much the same. The major difference is that binary offers lazy serialization while cereal is strict. 2011/6/9 Ivan Lazar Miljenovic <ivan.miljenovic@gmail.com>

Hello, Please advise on existing serialization libraries. I need a simple way to serialize Data.List and Data.Map to plain text files.
Well, the obvious solution is to just use show and read... though if you want something more efficient, have a look at binary and cereal on Hackage.
