I'm in the same quandary:
Data.Binary from the binary package has no error handling
Data.Serialize from the cereal package uses only strict ByteString
I was going to add error handling to Binary as a weekend project (it isn't that
hard), but when I contacted the developers of binary, I was pointed at cereal.
But as my project can parse multi-megabyte objects off the wire, I really want
lazy ByteString support.
I understand from the cereal creators that lazy ByteStrings are not in the
future of cereal, since they got a big speed boost by going to strict
ByteStrings only.
I understand that Bryan O'Sullivan might have done work on adding errors to
Binary... Bryan? If that's available, can we get it? If not, shall I do the
work to add error handling? It's a long weekend... I've got time!
