Implementing Wire Protocols with Boost Fusion
summary
Claims a reusable serializer that maps nonstandard binary exchange messages into modern C++ types using Boost Fusion and Boost.MPL rather than packed C overlays, demonstrates concrete reader/writer code using ASIO const/mutable buffers, type dispatch with enable_if/SFINAE, handling of nested variable‑length fields, optional bitmasks, and lazy string_view semantics, provides GitHub source and slides, and reports production‑scale use parsing market data with nanosecond‑range performance on real feeds.
