effectful-cereal

Tiny library for binary serialization intended to use with effectful

Warning

This library was not properly tested and benchmarked (although it's still pretty efficient), I use it for my pet projects only. Do not use it in production.

Example

encodePascalString
    :: (BinPut :> e, Error Text :> e)
    => ByteString
    -> Eff e ()
encodePascalString bs = do
    let len = BS.length bs

    if len > 0xFF then do
        throwError @Text "Your name is too long"
    else do
        putWord8 $ fromIntegral len
        putByteString bs

decodePascalString
    :: BinGet :> e
    => Eff e ByteString
decodePascalString =
    getByteString . fromIntegral =<< getWord8
