A Web Services Proxy Generator for Haskell

This paper presents the implementation of a web services proxy generator for the Haskell functional language. Its purpose is to free Haskell programmers from low-level implementation details when building applications that consume services offered through the Web. The generator architecture, as well as implementation experiences resulting from the specific web services access/proffer model, is detailed. The final purpose is to show that Haskell and functional languages in general can be effectively used to implement distributed components and applications, interacting with services implemented in different languages and/or platforms
