ghc-tagged-binary

Very minimal 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, decoding and categorization, 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.
