By taking advantage of relatively +new, advanced C++ techniques s11n turns this formerly-difficult task into +child's play. It supports literally hundreds of millions of combinations +of standard containers out of the box. libs11n is 100% data-format +agnostic, and currently includes support for many formats, including 3 XML +flavours. (As far as i am aware, this exceeds support provided by any +other serialization framework, regardless of the implementation language!) + +WWW: http://s11n.net +Author: Stephan Beal <stephan@s11n.net> + +- Aaron Dalton +aaron@FreeBSD.org |
