Re: [Haskell] ANNOUNCE: binary: high performance, pure binary serialisation

Dear Donald! Donald Bruce Stewart (Fri, Jan 26, 2007 at 01:51:01PM +1100):

Binary: high performance, pure binary serialisation for Haskell ----------------------------------------------------------------------

[..]

Encoding and decoding are achieved by the functions:

encode :: Binary a => a -> ByteString decode :: Binary a => ByteString -> a

which mirror the read/show functions. Convenience functions for serialising to disk are also provided:

How can you detect that a decode fails? Do you need to catch an error in the IO monad? How can you know that there is remaining input in the ByteString? Regards, -- S.Karrmann The truth of a proposition has nothing to do with its credibility. And vice versa.
