Thank you all for your responses!
I've decided to use fromEnum (and I'm going to read up on how that works.)
Greetings,

I was looking at the wrong EpochTime, whoops.

EpochTime is an instance of Integral. You can just use toInteger :: Integral a => a -> Integer. On 9/15/2015 6:42 PM, Bram Neijt wrote:
Dear Haskell cafe,
I want to convert form
mtime :: System.Posix.Types.EpochTime
to something aeson can eat without having to define an instance. I choose Integer.
My current solution[1] is just using (read . show). I know, ugly, but the only thing I could get going.
What is the proper way to convert System.Posix.Types.EpochTime to Integer or something else aeson will automatically convert without making a ToJSON instance?
As a beginner I wonder: is there a general way to go about finding conversion paths between types?
