Java Serialization

This project aims to create a low-latency serialization framework for Java.

Caution

This framework is still very much work-in-progress. Non-experimental usage is not yet recommended.

Example

import java.nio.ByteBuffer;

@Getter
@Setter
@SerializableType
public class MyClass {

    private int someInteger;
    private boolean someBoolean;
    private String someString;

}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    final ByteBuffer buffer = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(64);
    final Writer writer = new ByteBufferWriter(buffer);
    final Reader reader = new ByteBufferReader(buffer);

    final MyClass myObject = new MyClass();
    myObject.setSomeInteger(123);
    myObject.setSomeBoolean(true);
    myObject.setSomestring("abc");

    final MyClassSerializer serializer = new MyClassSerializer();
    serializer.bind(writer).write(myObject);

    buffer.flip();

    final MyClassDeserializer deserializer = new MyClassDeserializer();
    final MyClass output = deserializer.bind(reader).read(new MyClass());
}

Type support

• ✅ Fully supported
• ❌ Not yet supported

Type	Support
Any primitive type	✅
Any boxed primitive type	✅
String / CharSequence	✅
Any enum type	✅
Arrays	✅
Collections	✅
Other serializable types	✅
Maps	❌
Java time types	❌

Please note that not null annotations are supported. Marking nullable fields as not nullable will omit null-checks, doing so can cause null pointer exceptions at runtime in the event that such a field does contain a null value. However, serializing/deserializing not nullable fields is faster.
