We've refactored the happs repos and are now going to releasing components of HAppS as individual useful packages. HAppS-Data is the first one. Don't pull a tag, pull the most recent stuff in the repos. --- HAppS-Data v0.9: XML, Name/Value Pairs, HList, deriveAll * toXml and fromXml transform your haskell values to and from XML. Declare your own instances of class Xml to customize the Xml representation. * toPairs and fromPairs transform haskell values to and from name-value pairs (e.g. for url-encoded data). Pairs are converted between xpath expressions. Use toPairsX if you want a conversion without the top level constructor, fromPairs can handle that as long as your type has only one top level constructor. * toHTMLForms to produce an HTML forms representation of your data that can be consumed by fromPairs in a urldecoding context. toHTMLForms uses toPairsX for shorter input field names. * $(deriveAll) to batch derive Default and as well as the standard derivable without all the boring per data "deriving" declarations * Default missing values by declaring your own instances of class Default or have default values derived autotomatically. * Normalize your values by declaring your own instance of class Normalize. * Type safe easy-to-use heterogenous collections. t1 .&. t2 .&. t3 are a heterogenous lists of values. (HasT hlist t) is a class constraint to that the hlist contains a particular type. (x hlist)::t obtains a value of type t from inside the hlist. (u hlist v) updates the hlist with the value v if the hlist has type. x and u return compile time errors if the type is not inside the hlist. fromPairs is currently broken for hlist. darcs get http://happs.org/HAppS/HAppS-Data
