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.<br>I don&#39;t know about cereal, but I suppose it will be pretty much the same.<br>
The major difference is that binary offers lazy serialization while cereal is strict.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/6/9 Ivan Lazar Miljenovic <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:ivan.miljenovic@gmail.com">ivan.miljenovic@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span><br>

&gt; Hello,<br>
&gt; Please advise on existing serialization libraries.<br>
&gt; I need a simple way to serialize Data.List and Data.Map  to plain text<br>

you want something more efficient, have a look at binary and cereal on<br>
