You could try our S-expression library, which uses CamlP4 to generate
code for converting arbitrary extensionally defined (= sum and product
types, polymorphic variants, records, types with type variables)
OCaml-types to and from S-expressions:
http://www.janestcapital.com/ocaml
The library is safe and displays understandable error messages when
parsing S-expressions. One can choose whether to print values in
human-readable ways or in very compact machine-readable (somewhat
human-readable) form. It's also very easy to write down OCaml-values
in S-expression syntax, which makes it ideal for complex configuration
files.
Regards,
Markus
