generic serialization library for C++ (development package)

The Generic Serialization library is designed to address the problem of C++ object persistence in situations where the most typical data access pattern is "write once read many" (WORM). "Geners" is a set of tools and conventions which allows its users to develop C++ classes that can be converted to and from a storable stream of bytes in a well-organized and type-safe manner. Serialization of STL containers is supported, including the ones added in the C++11 standard. Independent versioning of each class definition is allowed.

Among others, compared to the boost serialization package, Geners archives provide random access to stored objects and can be used to create and serialize very large archive-based objects. Yet, only binary archives are implemented, and implementing non-intrusive serialization is less transparent.

This package contains the headers and the static library.
