High Performance Binary Serialization Libraries

中文 | Quick Start | Support Types

Xfrogcn BinaryFormatter is a high performance binary serialization libraries in .NET, it through the Span and Emit to achieve high performance, BinarySerializer uses an API interface that is consistent with System.Text.JSON, so easy to use.

Features

  • High performance
  • Smaller size
  • Simple and easy to use
  • Keep instance refer
  • $types of data retention, when there is no need to deserialize the specified destination type
  • Supports deserialization to a different type
  • Support the type of dynamic loading assemblies
  • Complete built-in type support
  • Extended attributes
  • Binary document model

Performance

Compare with the .NET built-in binaryFormatter serializer (Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary), this library performance can be more than 4 times, and the size of the Serialization results only 75% of it. The following by test/BinaryFormatter Benchmark performance test project to obtain performance data, including:

  • Json refers to the System.Text.Json, you can see the performance really tough
  • XfrogcnBinary refers to this library
  • SystemBinaryFormatter refers to .NET built-in Binary Serialization library (System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter)
  • category serialization Stream for adopting fluidization way
  • category Bytes for direct serialization to Byte array or deserialized from a Byte array
  • all of the tests are based on the default configuration, (in fluidization mode the default buffer size will significantly affect the serialization performance)

Solve the problem of dynamic loading assemblies

If the serialization type in dynamically loaded assembly, encapsulating and serialization methods in the dynamic loading assemblies, .NET official BinaryFormatter serialization libraries cannot deserialize, will trigger a assembly errors cannot be found.

This serialization libraries have solve this problem
