wox's Introduction

wox

WOX is an XML serializer for Java and C# objects (forked from http://woxserializer.sourceforge.net/)

Some of the WOX main features are listed below.

Easy to use. The Easy class provides serialization and de-serialization methods.
Simple XML. The XML generated is simple, easy to understand, and language independent.
Requires no class modifications. Classes do not require to have default constructors, getters or setters.
Field visibility. Private fields are serialized just as any other field. WOX serializes fields regardless their visibility.
Interoperability Java and C#. WOX can serialize a Java object to XML, and reconstruct the XML back to a C# object; and viceversa.
Standard XML object representation. This could potentially allow to have WOX serializers in different object-oriented programming languages.
WOX data types. The WOX mapping table specifies how primitive data types are mapped to WOX data types.
Robust to class changes. Defaults will be used for newly added fields.
Arrays. Handles arrays and multi-dimensional arrays of primitives and Objects.
Base-64. Byte arrays are base-64 encoded for efficiency.
Collection classes. Lists and Maps are provided as WOX data types. (ArrayList and HashMap in Java; ArrayList and Hashtable in C#).
Object references. Handles duplicate and circular object references with id/idref.
Class and Type. Objects of these classes are saved by their String name.
Small footprint. The woxSerializer.jar file (which contains only .class files) is only 25k.
