Hi,
I have an object that I want to serialize in XML now this object contains a date object of course I can save it explicitly as a string and do a readFrom.... But I wanted to know if there is a more advance serialization process.
What means "more advance" ? In the last consequence, you always must read/write strings ? I could imagine that it would perhaps an advantage if you could express serialization in mappings of objects, something like f: A -> B where A is the set of syntactical possible objects in Language A and B is a set of allowed objects in XML DOM (-
the nodes), so you can say the object "collection" maps to
<collection><item><itemClass>...</ itemClass><itemValue>...<itemValue></item>...</collection>. So you have a API level in the mid (like .Net) Or completly different ?
Greetings
