I think I ran across this and somehow thought this was standard, this is what I was planning to use with Data.Binary :-) Dave 2009/4/24 Krzysztof Skrzętnicki > There is already a network-bytestring package: > > > http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/network-bytestring > > R

The only caveat I would mention about using Data.Binary is that it traverses lists twice to encode them. Once to determine the length and once to output the list. As a result you may see space-leak-like behavior when encoding very long lists with Data.Binary. -Edward Kmett On Fri, Apr 24, 2009 at

I use Data.Binary to encode/decode all messages/packets in my P2P VPN application (http://code.google.com/p/scurry/). It's been quite fast and has be suitable for all my needs thus far. On Fri, Apr 24, 2009 at 10:15 AM, David Leimbach wrote: > I see that there are a few approaches to doing Binar

2009-04-24 Thread David Leimbach
I see that there are a few approaches to doing Binary I/O with Haskell, and the one I'm currently looking at using is Data.Binary from Hackage. I was just wondering what folks were choosing for building networked applications and doing Binary I/O. The approach I was about to take was to use Data.B
