Binary Object Serialization with Data Structure Traversal & Reconstruction in Cpp
summary
Claims a minimally intrusive, portable C++14/17 serialization that deduces types with Template Argument Deduction (TAD), uses SFINAE/std::enable_if<> (and can move to C++20 concepts), and reconstructs polymorphic types via a CRTP serializable registry holding factory pointers and type hashes. It tracks object IDs to avoid recursive reentrancy, compacts integer encoding, supports files/memory/sockets with checksum and optional xor filtering, serializes shared_ptr graphs, and demos show a tree persisted to file and a ping‑pong socket roundtrip that reconstructs the same object graph.
