Comment (by maeder):
For us `Data.Binary` wasn't useful at all, because it does not consider
sharing. The created files have been 25 times bigger and consumed too much
memory when read back.
The initial sentence of http://hackage.haskell.org/package/RefSerialize
are absolutely true, but I did not test this package.
I've put parts of our code in cabal packages:
http://www.informatik.uni-
bremen.de/agbkb/forschung/formal_methods/CoFI/hets/src-
distribution/versions/aterm-0.1.0.0.tar.gz
http://www.informatik.uni-
bremen.de/agbkb/forschung/formal_methods/CoFI/hets/src-
distribution/versions/hets-drift-0.1.0.0.tar.gz
Ideal would be a binary format that considers sharing (and does not need
to be further compressed)
