Readme for binrep-0.1.0

[back to package description]

binrep

Haskell data types with their binary representation explicitly built into the types. Intended for simple binary file parsing.

The binary and cereal libraries are for passing Haskell data between other binary and cereal users. Thus, data representation is largely obscured. For example, in cereal, all data is handled in big-endian format. If you use the Serialize typeclass methods for parsing and serializing, you would never know.

binrep never makes decisions by itself. You can't parse/serialize a Word64 without either providing the endianness to use at runtime, or encoding the endianness into the type.

See the Hackage documentation for details.
