AqlaSerializer

It is a fast and portable binary serializer designed to be easily used on your existing code with minimal changes on a wide range of .NET platforms. With AqlaSerializer you can save objects as a small in size binary data (far smaller than xml). And it's faster than BinaryFormatter and other core .NET serializers (which could be unavailable on your target platform).

Basically this is a fork of well known protobuf-net project. Protobuf-net tries to maintain Google Protocol Buffers format compatibility and unfortunately has issues with handling some very the common .NET specific features.

AqlaSerializer project goal is not to make a Protocol Buffers compatible implementation but instead support all common .NET features.
