Hi,

Seems like using withList is wrong or the deserializer is simply buggy. It certainly doesn't work the way I would expect SExp reading to work. I also notice from reading the source on hackage that there may not be any tests for this package and it is a 0.1 release. I'd contact the author, as it seems there is a deficiency in the documentation or a bug in the implementation.
Thanks Jason for trying this. The genericserialize package is probably not finished yet. What else exists that could be used to serialize in generic way (i. e., anything that is an instance of Data and Typeable) into a string? It does not need to be very efficient as structures to be serialized are not huge (but may be pretty complex), and serialization is a part of an utility not to be used frequently. It only needs to "just work". One thing I thought of was to serialize to JSON (there is a generic serializer in one of packages although I did not test it other way) which has higher overhead than S-expressions though. Any other thoughts? Thanks. -- Dimitry Golubovsky Anywhere on the Web
