I like to discuss a little about persistance with you guys.
The tasks at hand:
Begla would like to see binary and human readable(XML) serialization.
What i would like to do (or rather recommend since I have enough tasks already)
a) Custom serialization for storage heave components (our world files - nothing else)
b) Java serializable for binary serialization i.e. release builds
c) XStream serialization for debug builds
If I interpret the serialization code of immortus correctly hes working on point a)
Really would advise however against doing more than absolutely necessarily custom serialization. Resolution of dependency graphs is time consuming to implement properly (done it once partly before switching to boost)
Please share your insights would very much like to hear your opinions on this
