binary: efficient, pure binary serialisation using lazy ByteStrings

The 'binary' package provides Data.Binary, containing the Binary class, and associated methods, for serialising values to and from lazy ByteStrings.

A key feature of 'binary' is that the interface is both pure, and efficient.

The 'binary' package is portable to GHC and Hugs.

Building:

runhaskell Setup.hs configure
runhaskell Setup.hs build
runhaskell Setup.hs install

First: import Data.Binary

and then write an instance of Binary for the type you wish to serialise. More information in the haddock documentation.
