Fast Data Serialization on Android
summary
Library that generates Java helpers via an annotation processor to serialize Android objects into a tiny custom binary format with a versioned binary header and field tags. It writes primitives and nested objects into compact byte arrays, supports adding fields by increasing a version number, and offers migration callbacks to transform older data. Implementation integrates with existing apps, claims much faster run-time and lower memory than previous ad hoc solutions and is used internally.
