Hi all, I would like to be able to serialize primitive types platform- independently. I have hand-written Java data classes and I want to serialize their primitive fields using a cross-platform framework. These classes can not be generated, they must be written by hand, additional code is generated based upon them. Also, serializing the object as a whole isn't an option either, because the fields sometimes have to be processed before serializing their values. I have to serialize the fields separately. It must be made cross-platform because the values will be stored in a database and they may be read from other platforms. Creating wrapper PB-objects for each primitive type is an overhead I must avoid because the operation will be done very frequently and with large amounts of data.
I found that Protocol Buffers addresses cross-platform serialization of objects, but I could not figure out how to use it as a serialization framework for primitive types (without having created .proto descriptors). Is it possible to use PB as a cross- platform serializer-deserializer framework for primitive types?
