TSV Serializer

A macro-based, extensible TSV Serializer library.

Assuming you've already decided you need to write TSV, why this library:

• FAST. Serialization code is generated at compile-time. No run-time reflection.
• Reliable. Because macros are used, if the library doesn't know how to serialize something, you'll know at compile time.
• Extensible. Define implicit formatters for any of your types which are automatically used by the case-class macro generators.

  }
  implicit def optionTSVWriter[T](implicit writer: TSVWriter[T]): TSVWriter[Option[T]] = new OptionWriter[T]

  implicit val longTSVWriter = new TSVWriter[Long] {
    def write(v: Long) = v.toString
  }
  implicit val rowWriter = TSVSerializer.writer[Row]
}

object Main extends App {
  import TSVFormats._
  val data = Row("Bob", Some(30), Some(DateTime.now), true)
  val output = rowWriter.write(data)
  println(output) // le TSV !
}
