Hi again,
I'm posting this partly as question and partly as an aide-memoire: what
formats and/or techniques are there for serialising/persisting/storing
graphs of objects? So far, i've got:
- hand-hacked binary storage
- java.io serialization
- XML done manually
- XML via java.beans.XMLEncoder
- XML via JAXB
- XML via Swing archiver
- JSON
- ASN.1 - various encoding rules
- CORBA IIOP marshalling (not sure how to get at this)
Any other significant ones?
I'm wondering about something like persisting objects to a database
(HypersonicSQL or similar) and then taking the database table files. It's
not really a serialisation format per se, but it might be interesting to
compare.
