Speedy & Easy C# Class Serialization
SECCS is a tool for performant binary serialization of C# classes containing arbitrary data. It is quick and easy to use, requiring only an attribute on any classes you want to serialize.
The performance and output size of SECCS is heavily dependent on the buffer you use, which in this case is System.IO.BinaryWriter and System.IO.BinaryReader for serialization and deserialization respectively.
