This format is really meant to be read by humans rather than machines. And anyway, for most applications, it's better to use Core rather than STG. GHC theoretically has the ability to emit external Core programs, but unfortunately that feature isn't working right now. But if you download GHC 6.8.1, and assuming you're implementing your compiler in Haskell, you can use the GHC API to compile Haskell programs to Core: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/GHC/As_a_library If you run into problems, feel free to ask here.
