Editing Serialization (section)

===Haskell===
In Haskell, serialization is supported for types that are members of the Read and Show [[type class]]es. Every type that is a member of the <code>Read</code> type class defines a function that will extract the data from the string representation of the dumped data. The <code>Show</code> type class, in turn, contains the <code>show</code> function from which a string representation of the object can be generated. The programmer need not define the functions explicitly—merely declaring a type to be deriving Read or deriving Show, or both, can make the compiler generate the appropriate functions for many cases (but not all: function types, for example, cannot automatically derive Show or Read). The auto-generated instance for Show also produces valid source code, so the same Haskell value can be generated by running the code produced by show in, for example, a Haskell interpreter.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.6.0.1/docs/Text-Show.html#t:Show|access-date=15 January 2014 |title=Text.Show Documentation}}</ref> For more efficient serialization, there are haskell libraries that allow high-speed serialization in binary format, e.g. [http://hackage.haskell.org/package/binary binary].
