You can include the type in the serialized string. When recovering you can
read the type and use to look for the appropriate deserializer in a lookup
table where you have registered the deserializer.
I use this trick in the IDynamic package,. that serializes-deserializes
dynamic types:

Hi the list! I have a simple question, how can I serialize/deserialize a structure like this:
data InputChoice c deriving Typeable data Event a where InputChoice :: (Eq c, Show c) => [c] -> c -> Event (InputChoice c) (...)
I'd like that the values of type "c" get serialized to a String... That's the easy part, but for deserializing, oops!
Cheers, Corentin
