Generating Haskell Code out of Haskell AST (GHC API)

Hi! I dont know GHC API very well, but I want to generate AST of a program using GHC API. Is there any standard method to generate Haskell code out of it? (something like "print_this_for_me_please" function? :D

The package haskell-src-exts is a lot less intimidating if all you are
trying to do is programmatically generate Haskell source:
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/haskell-src-exts
The base types are here:
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/haskell-src-exts/1.13.5/doc/html...
This module has some helper function for generating parts of the AST:

Thank you!
So, if I'm writing a compiler of custom language, which I want to generate
Haskell AST and further compile it with GHC, you prefer something like
haskell-src-exts
over pure GHC API?
