Hello Bulat,
In the preliminary version of our paper about comparing
different approaches to generic programming in Haskell,
you can find a number of implementations of serialization
of values of arbitrary datatypes to lists of bits. Implementations
in Generic Haskell, DrIFT, SYB, and other appro

Data values contains two parts - describing type (Constr?) and
value itself. Serializing value is even easier than
(already implemented) gshow/gread, and if it can use Bin
I don't see how this can work for arbitrary types without auto-
generating the serialization code. Once the code is generated you can
just store the type dictionary at the beginning of the file and use
it to deserialize.
I'm not sure this can be done on top of Binary since the type tag

Hello Haskell,
one Streams library user asked me about support of serialization
TOGETHER with type information which means implementation of
"instance Binary Data" (any other variants?). can anyone describe me
how i can implement this? Binary instance is very like Show/Read, just
uses compact bina
