Data.Binary
There are a number of binary I/O libraries available for Haskell. The best to use is the new, semi-standard Data.Binary library:
* Data.Binary
It's very simple to use, and provides a highly efficient, pure interface to binary serialisation.
A tutorial:
* Serialisation_and_compression_with_Data_Binary

- Data.ByteString (Cabalised) also provides byte level operations, and is used in some applications for binary IO
- SerTH, archived page the TH version (sort of) of NewBinary.

- SimonMarlow's experimental NewIO package: http://www.haskell.org/~simonmar/new-io.tar.gz (documentation at http://www.haskell.org/~simonmar/io/)
For very simple serialisation, use read
and show
.
If you have simple binary IO requirements, then Data.ByteString might be easiest -- you get a List-like interface to packed byte arrays (interface documented here). For more complex serialisation, Data.Binary would be preferred.
