What is the Java‐Serializable library
The Java-Serializable library was created with the goal of definitively solving all serialization problems in Java. After observing and working with several serialization libraries, many exhibit chronic issues that prevent users from leveraging the full power of serialization.
-
Java's Native Serialization: Java's built-in serialization mechanism is limited to byte-based serialization and typically produces serialized data that is larger than the actual object, especially when encrypting data. Additionally, it depends on the
Serializable
interface, which adds constraints. -
Google's GSON: GSON requires a no-argument constructor for the classes to be serialized, which restricts the use of
final
fields. Beyond that, it is also notably slow in comparison to other serialization options (yes, it's quite sluggish). -
Other Libraries: Most, if not all, existing serialization libraries tend to suffer from either performance bottlenecks or limitations in how they deserialize objects.
The Java-Serializable library aims to be the best and only serialization library you'll ever need. Its primary focus is on delivering high-performance serialization, with an output that is clean, pure, and as lightweight as possible. This is especially valuable for REST APIs, where fast and efficient serialization can significantly enhance throughput and reduce latency.
- Lightweight Output: Produces minimal serialized data without unnecessary overhead, making it perfect for performance-critical applications.
-
No Dependency on Serializable Interface: Offers flexibility in how objects are serialized without being bound by Java's
Serializable
interface. - Optimized for Speed: Designed to handle serialization and deserialization at extreme speeds, even with complex data structures.
- Support for Final Fields: Unlike many other libraries, Java-Serializable does not require empty constructors, allowing immutable objects and final fields to be serialized with ease.
In the future, the Java-Serializable library aims to be unquestionably the best serialization solution worldwide. Our goal is to set a new standard for serialization libraries by offering unmatched performance, flexibility, and clean output. Whether you are building a REST API or working on performance-sensitive applications, this library is designed to give you the best possible serialization experience.
