Description
This defines a Text class which is a bit like the Read and Show
classes. The difference is that is uses a modern pretty printer and parser
system and the format is not expected to be Haskell concrete syntax but
rather the external human readable representation used by Cabal.
- class Text a where
- defaultStyle :: Style
- display :: Text a => a -> String
- simpleParse :: Text a => String -> Maybe a
