ITypeSerializer

Description

[ShutdownSurvive]
interface Tinman.Core.IO.Serialization.ITypeSerializer → <T val>

Extended by

ITypeSerializerEx
TypeSerializerBase abstract

Base interface for classes that perform serialization of concrete types.

For serialization of value arrays and collections, a type serializer may provide an optional component-wise delta encoding between subsequent values. Such encoding can improve compression ratios, as it usually reduces the entropy of the data.
