fast-serialization

  • up to 10 times faster 100% JDK Serialization compatible drop-in replacement (Ok, might be 99% ..). As an example: Lambda Serialization which came with 1.8 worked instantly.
  • Android compatible since version >= 2.17 (use FSTConfiguration.createAndroidConfiguration() both on server and client side. The configuration object has to be passed into FSTObjectIn/Output constructors)
  • OffHeap Maps, Persistent OffHeap maps
  • FSTStructs is very similar to IBM's packed objects. Difference is: You can run it with Oracle JDK today.
  • optionally en/decode any Serializable object graph to JSON (incl. shared references) (since 2.29) for interop
  • Apache 2.0 license since 2.17

###mvn

note: maven.org might lag 1 day behind after releasing.

2.0 version

<dependency>
    <groupId>de.ruedigermoeller</groupId>
    <artifactId>fst</artifactId>
    <version>2.45</version>
</dependency>

Older version (different package name, 1.6 compatible ..). Fixes are not backported anymore, unsupported.

<dependency>
    <groupId>de.ruedigermoeller</groupId>
    <artifactId>fst</artifactId>
    <version>1.63</version>
</dependency>

###how to build

  • master contains dev branch/trunk.
  • 1.x contains old version
  • The maven build should work out of the box and reproduces the artifact hosted on maven.org
  • To use the gradle build, you need to configure the proxy server in settings.properties (or just set empty if you do not sit behind a proxy).

Note that instrumentation done for fst-structs works only if debug info is turned on during compile. Reason is that generating methods at runtime with javassist fails (probably a javassist bug ..). This does not affect the serialization implementation.

JDK 1.6 Build 1.x build since v1.62 are still jdk 6 compatible
