Hacker News with Generative AI: Serialization

A Rust API Inspired by Python, Powered by Serde (ohadravid.github.io)
Years ago, I worked on reimplementing1 some Python code in Rust (yet again), and this time I needed to adapt Python’s dynamic capabilities (aka __getattr__) to the strict and compiled world of Rust.

Show HN: Hexi – Modern header-only network binary serialisation for C++ (github.com/EmberEmu)
Hexi is a lightweight, header-only C++23 library for safely handling binary data from arbitrary sources (but primarily network data). It sits somewhere between manually memcpying bytes from network buffers and full-blown serialisation libraries.

Show HN: Ldump – serialize any Lua data (github.com/girvel)
ldump is a flexible serializer, able to serialize any data, starting with circular references, tables as keys, functions with upvalues, metatables and ending with coroutines, threads and userdata (by defining how they should be serialized). It outputs valid Lua code that recreates the original object, doing the deserialization through load(data)(). It aims for functionality and flexibility instead of speed and size, allowing full serialization of complex data, such as video game saves.

Preserves: An Expressive Data Language (preserves.dev)
This repository contains a definition and various implementations of Preserves, a data model with associated serialization formats in many ways comparable to JSON, XML, S-expressions, CBOR, ASN.1 BER, and so on.

MessagePack: It's like JSON, but fast and small. (msgpack.org)
MessagePack is an efficient binary serialization format. It lets you exchange data among multiple languages like JSON. But it's faster and smaller. Small integers are encoded into a single byte, and typical short strings require only one extra byte in addition to the strings themselves.

Cramming Scrapscript into Msgpack (taylor.town)
msgpack is a lovely little serialization format. As a JSON replacement, it saves bandwidth while preserving native language features (e.g. tuples, records, objects, dates).

Using gRPC for (local) inter-process communication (2021) (mpi-hd.mpg.de)
Using a full-featured RPC framework for IPC seems like overkill when the processes run on the same machine. However, if your project anyway exposes RPCs for public APIs or would benefit from a schema-based serialisation layer it makes sense to use only one tool that combines these—also for IPC.
