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: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/IDynamic-0.1 2012/10/20 Corentin Dupont <corentin.dupont@gmail.com>
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
