Sorry for the unclear question. As Bill Lear clarified, I mean the following (not archive formats): class Foo { template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive& ar, const unsigned int version); template<class Archive> void serialize_II(Archive& ar, const unsigned int version); }; where serialize_II reads and writes the data structure in a different manner than serialize. It could be possible using versioning; but is there any other possibility? Thanks, Vidal "Vidal Roca" <vidal.roca@ptv.de> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:e78jtt$gsf$1@sea.gmane.org...
It is possible to define more than one serialization format for a data structure with the serialization library? If not, has someone some good purposes to make it to? Thanks, Vidal
