FM Serializer

Scala macro-based serialization library originally built at FrugalMechanic (which no longer exists).

Features

• FAST (TODO: Publish modified jvm-serializers code and results)
• Automatic generation of serializers/deserializers at compile time (via Scala Macros)
• No Boilerplate
• Support for case classes, POJOs, Scala Collections, Java Collections, etc...

Formats

• Modified Protocol Buffers (TODO: Document the modifications)
• JSON

Usage

Modified Protocol Buffers

import fm.serializer.protobuf.Protobuf
case class Hello(name: String, list: List[Int])
val hello = Hello("World", List(1,2,3,4,5))

val bytes: Array[Byte] = Protobuf.toBytes(hello)
val hello2: Hello = Protobuf.fromBytes[Hello](bytes)

require(hello == hello2)

JSON

import fm.serializer.json.JSON
case class Hello(name: String, list: List[Int])
val hello = Hello("World", List(1,2,3,4,5))

val json: String = JSON.toJSON(hello)
val hello2: Hello = JSON.fromJSON[Hello](json)

require(hello == hello2)

More complex examples are in TestSerializer.scala
