SIXX works very good to write/read objects, but it means you have to give up on
your own xml schema.
And it's almost to easy to use:
sws := SixxWriteStream newFileNamed: aFileName.
sws nextPut: (self objectsToExport).
sws close.
srs := SixxReadStream readOnlyFileNamed: (aFileName).
objects := OrderedCollection new.
[srs atEnd] whileFalse: [objects add: srs next].
srs close.
