We have great tools for [de]serializing both to binary and to JSON (binary, cereal, json, aeson, etc). But we have rather weak support for [de]serializing to human readable Haskell-ish external formats.
What we have is parsec, attoparsec, trifecta, etc. --- parsers are so trivial to build in Haskell that it's easier to swot up one that does exactly what you need on the fly than it is to build a better Read with enough flexibility to cover a majority of use cases. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
