"Safe" deserialization

Some serialization libs are safe (or almost safe) https://github.com/mbechler/marshalsec

However, it's not a recommendation, but just a list of other libs that has been researched by someone:

  • JAXB
  • XmlBeans
  • Jibx
  • Protobuf
  • GSON
  • GWT-RPC
