mapstructure is a reflection-based library for the bidirectional encoding and decoding of generic map data into native typed Go structures. It functions as a tool for transforming loosely typed map values into specific structs and encoding those structs back into maps. The library utilizes Go reflection to map generic data keys to struct fields during runtime. It supports the transformation of untyped data from dynamic sources or configuration files into type-safe native structures. The mapping process includes recursive traversal of nested maps and slices, as well as the use of struct tags

This project is a Protocol Buffers implementation for Go, providing a binary serialization framework to convert native data structures into a compact binary format for efficient network transmission and storage. It functions as a language bindings generator, utilizing a compiler plugin to create Go source code from platform-neutral protocol buffer definitions. The implementation includes a JSON data mapper that transforms structured binary messages into JSON format to facilitate compatibility with web services and external APIs. It also enables cross-language data exchange by using a common s

This project is a Protocol Buffers Go compiler and code generation framework that translates schema definitions into optimized Go structures and reflection-free serialization methods. It includes a gRPC service generator for producing client and server communication code and a serialization performance toolkit for generating automated benchmarks and test suites. The framework features a plugin-based system for transforming data definitions into source code with custom field mapping and struct tag injection. It allows for custom type mapping and struct type overriding to link data fields to sp

CapnProto is a zero-copy serialization framework and remote procedure call system. It serves as a C++ communication library providing a schema-based data interchange format that eliminates the need to encode or decode data before reading it from memory. The system enables high-performance data serialization and low-latency network communication. It supports cross-language data exchange by using a defined schema to ensure consistent binary representation across different platforms. The framework provides tools for implementing remote procedure calls, allowing functions to be invoked on a remo

Fast and flexible serialization framework usable on undecorated classes.

A collection of useful micro-modules for Lua.

Kryo is a Java binary serialization framework and object cloning library used to convert Java objects into a compact binary format and restore them from bytes. It provides a system for creating deep or shallow copies of complex object graphs without requiring binary conversion. The project utilizes variable-length integer encoding and integer-ID class registration to reduce the size of serialized data. It handles complex object graphs through circular reference tracking to prevent data duplication and infinite loops. To maintain long-term data viability, it includes schema evolution managemen

Serialize Lua tables to C structs and strings.

Facebook's branch of Apache Thrift, including a new C++ server.

Jackson is a Java data binding framework and multi-format data serializer used to translate data structures into native language objects. It functions as a JSON data binding library and a streaming parser that reads and writes data as discrete tokens to process large datasets with minimal memory. The project distinguishes itself through a bytecode serialization accelerator that replaces standard reflection with generated bytecode to increase data binding speed. It employs a module-based extensibility model to support a wide range of formats beyond JSON, including XML, YAML, CSV, TOML, and bin
