perl-Sereal-Encoder

Binary serialization module for Perl (encoder part)

This library implements an efficient, compact-output, and feature-rich serializer using a binary protocol called _Sereal_. Its sister module Sereal::Decoder implements a decoder for this format. The two are released separately to allow for independent and safer upgrading. If you care greatly about performance, consider reading the Sereal::Performance documentation after finishing this document. The Sereal protocol version emitted by this encoder implementation is currently protocol version 4 by default. The protocol specification and many other bits of documentation can be found in the github repository. Right now, the specification is at <a href="https://github.com/Sereal/Sereal/blob/master/sereal_spec.pod">https://github.com/Sereal/Sereal/blob/master/sereal_spec.pod</a> , there is a discussion of the design objectives in <a href="https://github.com/Sereal/Sereal/blob/master/README.pod">https://github.com/Sereal/Sereal/blob/master/README.pod</a> , and the output of our benchmarks can be seen at <a href="https://github.com/Sereal/Sereal/wiki/Sereal-Comparison-Graphs">https://github.com/Sereal/Sereal/wiki/Sereal-Comparison-Graphs</a> . For more information on getting the best performance out of Sereal, have a look at the "PERFORMANCE" section below.
