Hello, I'm looking for a java library that allows me to serialize/deserialize java beans to/from a custom text format that resembles json. I have been reading around the xstream site and the API looks incredibly nice and flexible. So I was wondering if maybe I could write my own xstream driver for this custom format of mine and use xstream for my task.
So I have a few questions: 1- Does using xstream with a non-xml custom text based format makes sense, or is xstream xml centric and should probably not be used for this?. 2- If xstream is indeed an good choice for my task, has this been done before ?. Is there an example or documentation of using a custom format ?. 3- Does anyone knows of other libraries that could be used for this task ? Thanks in advance for your time. -- Carlos Ramos
