Almost three decades have passed since the creation of Java Serialization—a feature which is widely frowned upon—and application requirements for externalization of objects have changed significantly.
In this presentation we will explore how a changed set of requirements and constraints, paired with recent enhancements of the Java Language, can lead to a dramatically simpler and safer model for programmatically reasoning about the structure of Objects, and offer greater flexibility in state extraction, encoding, and reconstruction.
It's time for a data-oriented approach to serialization, are you ready?
