Features
- Automatically serializes the base classes
- Supports events (before and after (de)serializing)
- Supports non-serialized fields and classes (you can say that some fields in a class should not be serialized)
- Licensed under the Boost license
- Std/runtime library independent
- Extendable - possible to create new archive types and use them with the existing serializer
- Serializes through base class references
- Serializes third party types
- Customization of the (de)serialization process, both intrusive and non-intrusive
- Properly (de)serializes slices and pointers
Known Issues/Limitations
- Constructors are not a called on deserialization, events or similar can be used instead
- Due to limitations in the XML module provided by Phobos the XMLArchive will only work with "char" as the template type with D2
- Due to several bugs/limitations in the compiler/runtime even the D2 version requires you to register the type when serializing through base class references
- No built-in support for versioning
- Floating point numbers are not serialized as hexadecimal (D1)
