[Caml-list] [ANN] Sexplib now available for OCaml 3.10
Markus Mottl
it seems the announcement list is currently broken so here is the
announcement I sent out last weekend:
I am happy to announce that the Sexplib library has been ported to OCaml 3.10:

It now depends on the type-conv library, which factors out common
functionality for future type conversion libraries (e.g. an upcoming
type-safe and extremely efficient binary protocol library):
http://ocaml.info/home/ocaml_sources.html#type-conv
Sexplib is also available through Godi, which will automatically
resolve the dependency on type-conv.
The new release also comes with several bug fixes, performance
improvements and small feature extensions.
Here is a short description of Sexplib (from the README):
This library contains functionality for parsing and pretty-printing
S-expressions. In addition to that it contains an extremely useful
preprocessing module for Camlp4, which can be used to automatically
generate code from type definitions for efficiently converting OCaml-values
to S-expressions and vice versa. In combination with the parsing and
pretty-printing functionality this frees users from having to write their own
I/O-routines for datastructures they define. Possible errors during automatic
conversions from S-expressions to OCaml-values are reported in a very
human-readable way. Another module in the library allows you to extract and
replace sub-expressions in S-expressions.
Enjoy!
Best regards,
Markus
