Hello,
I only use the 'Binary' class when I don't care about the specifics of
the serialization format, only that it be reasonably fast, compact and
stable.
When I need to comply with some particular format I use the functions
in Data.Binary.Builder and Data.Binary.Get directly. Sometimes I make
my own Serialize/Deserialize classes if I think it will be helpful.
But I do look at the source for the instances of the 'Binary' class
for inspiration!
Take care,
Antoine

Hi, I am using Data.Binary which defined "instance Binary a => Binary [a]". Now I need to define "instance Binary [String]" to make something special for string list. How to make it work? I looked into the chapter of overlappinginstances, nothing works. -- 竹密岂妨流水过 山高哪阻野云飞
