As far as I know it doesn't "normalize" references, as Fuel does.

The alternative is to have a Fuel serializer that serializes Fuel objects in STON format instead of binary :D

A question I was meaning to ask, how efficient is STON at storing references , lets say I have an object that has instance variables that references another object and that object has a instance variable that references another object etc. Where exactly STON stops , or are there any limitations��

Hi,

I'm using STON for my Grafoscopio[1][2] project with pretty good results. It's flexible, readable and well supported and document. Better that JSON! Pretty recommended.

thanks, pharo/smalltalk community for being simple/flexible/clean !
