Not very constructive, but I can't help but think that if people were to write actual RESTful APIs, this would be a much more straightforward problem to solve... On Nov 4, 2016 7:28 PM, "Oleg Grenrus" wrote:

Hi,

today I finally released a new version of `github` package [1], providing bindings to the most of GitHub API. [2]

The most notable feature, it’s now compatible with GHC-8.0.1.

As GitHub doesn’t provide (or I’m not aware of) machine readable specification of their API, the feature completeness and correctness depends on the users of the package. So, please try it out, find out what’s incorrect and missing, and ideally submit a PR.

The plan for the next version is to merge in definitions from github-types [3], and then split types from `github` package back into `github-types`, so others can reuse the definitions without the rest of the packages, e.g. for servant-github [4]

As you can see, we are still experimenting with “how to write bindings to rest APIs”, if you have some comments, please raise an issue.

Cheers, Oleg Grenrus
