# The Serialize class

class Serialize t where

If your compiler has support for the `DeriveGeneric` and `DefaultSignatures` language extensions (`ghc >= 7.2.1`), the `put` and `get` methods will have default generic implementations.

To use this option, simply add a `deriving `Generic`` clause to your datatype and declare a `Serialize` instance for it without giving a definition for `put` and `get`.

Minimal complete definition

Nothing

Methods

put :: Putter t

Encode a value in the Put monad.

get :: Get t

Decode a value in the Get monad

# Serialize serialisation

encode :: Serialize a => a -> ByteString

Encode a value using binary serialization to a strict ByteString.

encodeLazy :: Serialize a => a -> ByteString

Encode a value using binary serialization to a lazy ByteString.

decode :: Serialize a => ByteString -> Either String a

Decode a value from a strict ByteString, reconstructing the original structure.

decodeLazy :: Serialize a => ByteString -> Either String a

Decode a value from a lazy ByteString, reconstructing the original structure.

expect :: (Eq a, Serialize a) => a -> Get a

Perform an action, failing if the read result does not match the argument provided.
