tagged-binary
Very minimal (Haskell) library providing tools for serializing and decoding data into
ByteString tagged with information about its type, inspired by Cloud Haskell
and distributed-process.
Intended for use by libraries and frameworks in distributed contexts, such as
distributed computation between native servers and communication between
native servers and ghcjs/various front-ends, for behavior similar to the
polymorphic communication channels of Cloud Haskell and distributed-process;
servers can send tagged data, and clients can choose to selectively accept,
ignore or queue incoming messages depending on their types.
For basic encoding and decoding, only Data.Binary.Tagged should be
necessary. Data.Binary.Tagged.Internal is exported in case you need it.
Quick example
> let x = encodeTagged (1 :: Int)
> decodeTagged x :: Maybe Bool
Nothing
> decodeTagged x :: Maybe Int
Just 1
