| Instances for Binary for the types defined in the vector package, |
| making it easy to serialize vectors to and from disk. We use the |
| generic interface to vectors, so all vector types are supported. |
| Specific instances are provided for unboxed, boxed and storable |
| vectors. |
| |
| To serialize a vector: |
| |
| > *Data.Vector.Binary> let v = Data.Vector.fromList [1..10] |
| > *Data.Vector.Binary> v |
| > fromList [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10] :: Data.Vector.Vector |
| > *Data.Vector.Binary> encode v |
| > Chunk "\NUL\NUL\NUL\NUL\NUL...\NUL\NUL\NUL\t\NUL\NUL\NUL\NUL\n" Empty |
| |
| Which you can in turn compress before writing to disk: |
| |
| > compress . encode $ v |
| > Chunk "\US\139\b\NUL\NUL\N...\229\240,\254:\NUL\NUL\NUL" Empty |
