README
Minimal binary serialization library with focus on performance
persist is a reasonably fast binary serialization library operating on strict ByteStrings with small dependency footprint.
The binary format uses the little endian representation on both big- and little endian machines.
The API design is mostly compatible with the cereal library. However the binary format
is not compatible with binary and cereal. Its internal machinery for deserialization is based on the store
library.
Serialization generates ByteStrings directly instead of relying on the ByteString Builder.
Comparison with other libraries
- flat - bit packing (!), fast, longer compile times
- store - faster serialization, machine dependent, larger library, many dependencies
- cereal - similar to persist, slower
- binary - lazy and slower than persist
