A fast and simple Java object serialization library based on Ahead-of-Time schema generation.

Getting Started

This project hast been tested with the

• Java SE Development Kit 8 [Download]

Other versions may work but are not supported officially.

Features

• On-the-fly schema generation for unregistered classes
• Random instance initialization
• Partial serialization and deserialization
• Optional off-heap memory usage
• No implementation needed
• Simple API

Usage

// Enable auto registration
Skema.enableAutoRegistration();

// Create an instance of your object
MyObject original = new MyObject();

// Serialize the object using Skema
byte[] buffer = Skema.serialize(original);

// Create a new instance of your object using the serialized data
MyObject copy = Skema.deserialize(MyObject.class, buffer);
