Interesting project. There are so many uses for object serializers.
Personally I am looking at storing objects in NoSQL databases, and
serializing them is an option that will work in a lot of cases. Using
a serializer for copying objects is also useful.
Does Fuel support �cutting off� instance variables, like SIXX�s
Object>>sixxIgnorableInstVarNames ?
Runar, could you please tell us how that is done?
how such method looks like?
MyClass >> sixxIgnorableInstVarNames
^ #('age' 'blah')
?
Second, what happens are serialization time? SIXX puts a nil ? and at materialization? when the object is created from the XML you get a nil in those instVars ?
And of course, you implement
Objet >> sixxIgnorableInstVarNames
^ ()
?
Yes I know....I can take the code and look by myself...but not time now :(
Thanks
Mariano
I always thought SIXX
(http://www.mars.dti.ne.jp/~umejava/smalltalk/sixx/index.html ) was
state-of-the-art in this field. It seems to have many features, and it
is supported on many dialects. �Are your ideas so great that it really
makes sense to create yet another serializer? Wouldn�t improving SIXX
be better?
