This software provides Haskell typeclasses and instances that enable converting between different types. It can be used to facilitate data transformation and streamline programming tasks, making it a valuable tool for developers seeking to enhance their code efficiency.
Convertible is an exceptional free and open source Haskell library that provides a typeclass that is specifically designed to help convert between varied types such as numeric values, dates and times, and much more. The conversions conveniently perform bounds checking and return a pure Either value.
The highly efficient feature of this library lies in its ability to negate any need to recollect which specific function is tasked with performing the conversion you require. Additionally, Convertible also includes optional instances that provide conversion for various numeric and time types in addition to utilities that assist in writing your very own instances.
Lastly, and perhaps the most important feature of this library is a function implemented in terms of a much safer function, which is designed to raise an exception on bounds-checking violation, or return a bare value otherwise. It's worth noting that convertible is licensed and distributed under the terms of the LGPL.
