Re: [Boost-users] load a serialized object into Matlab?

While boost::serialization prefers its own file format, HDF5 is a very open standard.

I would love to see this kind of implementation, though I don't know much about the support for hdf5 in matlab. From a cursory review of the docs, it looks like it is pretty awful to work with in matlab. For better or worse, I think that most people end up using the 'save' function. I agree that matlab is proprietary and shouldn't be a core boost library, which means it probably should be in the numeric bindings. -Jesse
