Developing an application in Haskell
1 min readMar 22, 2017
Recently I have started a pet project to understand Haskell for web development. This project develops a Haskell application to talk to the IG streaming API which is a combination of a Restful API (for authentication and trading) and a Lightstreamer API for streaming realtime data. This allows me to investigate and understand the use of Haskell for the following functionalities:
- Reading and writing JSON objects
- Interacting with Restful API over HTTP(S)
- Interacting directly with HTTP(S) connections
- Managing concurrent threads
- Reading and writing to a relational database such as Postgres
In the subsequent stories, I want to write down my experience with the above functionalities.
