This is a port of John Goerzen's convertible package, intended to
|
||
|
distinguish between conversions which are guaranteed to succeed and
|
||
|
those which might fail. It uses the attempt package, which in turn
|
||
|
uses the failure package, so that this package is fully compatible
|
||
|
with the failure framework.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This package currently contains all of the typeclasses and instances
|
||
|
for convertible. However, as these features are ported to the
|
||
|
convertible package, this package will be left with only the instances
|
||
|
for converting to and from text types (String, ByteString (lazy and
|
||
|
strict) and Text (lazy and strict).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Be aware that conversions to and from bytestrings assume UTF-8
|
||
|
encoding. If a different encoding is desired, you can use a newtype
|
||
|
wrapper and declare an instance of ConvertAttempt or ConvertSuccess on
|
||
|
it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The main module to import is Data.Convertible.Text.
