[Haskell-cafe] Parsing binary data.

Hi all,

Recently I am considering doing part of my job using Haskell.

My duty is writing a network server which talks to another server through a
binary based private protocol.

As the old version of this component is written in C, it's very natural that
this protocol is base on C structure definitions, which are, unfortunately,
very complicated.  And the worse is that every field in every structure must
be converted to Network Endian.

As I am a newbie to Haskell, I am not sure how to handle this problem with
less work.  Do you have any ideas about this problem?

Thanks in advance!
