Yeah! :)
I did the same at work.

Without reading your code carefully, I can think of two optimizations
that may prove to be useful:
- If a struct contains all bitwise copyable members, instead of
(de)serializing each member individually, the whole struct can by
memcpy'ed. This may be a performance gain especially for arrays of
structs: You can memcpy the whole array at once.
- Instead of allocating memory for each value (e.g. for arrays with
'new'), you can maintain a function-static buffer and reuse it,
allocating only as the current buffer is not large enough for new data.
(No worries with multi-threading because each thread will have its own
function-static buffer.)
