Is anyone else interested in using Robert Ramey's serialization library for the purpose of marshalling data into pre-determined binary formats?
Yes. In particular, I believe a CDR (Common Data Representation), which is CORBA's binary format would be highly useful for network apps.
This is not related to serialization in a general sense, but employing the syntax and underlying fundamentals of the library, to a somewhat related purpose.
Well, I believe that one of the design changes that was requested in the first review. That is, to make the archive seperate from serialization -- and hence in the current version the Robert has created the boost/archive directory.
This is a test program demonstrating what I'm doing - I'm interested to know if anyone else is doing anything similar... ... code snipped ...
I'm not building such a thing, but if you do I'm sure I'll use it. And your experiences in extending the library would be interesting for the upcoming re-review of serialization :-) Jeff
