1-- This example is basically the same as in Simplest.hs, only it uses
2-- GHC's builtin generics instead of explicit instances of ToJSON and
3-- FromJSON.
5-- This example only works with GHC 7.2 or newer, as it uses the
6-- datatype-generic programming machinery introduced in 7.2.
8-- We enable the DeriveGeneric language extension so that GHC can
9-- automatically derive the Generic class for us.
