Thanks. I believe that is the example that made me think that its main
purpose was for archiving.
So is an Archive actually a serialization driver? Can one make a
protobuf driver or a hessian driver?
Yes, that should be possible. It depends on how the data looks like. The
upcoming std.serialization version will relax quite a lot of the
requirements of the archiver. That means more archivers can be implemented.
Are the serializers able to stream data, with something like a range
interface?
No, unfortunately not. I'm working on including Orange into Phobos as
std.serialization. That version will have a range API.
