Example Outputs

So as the serializers within here are interchangable here is an extract from the tests which shows the same object being spat out through 5 different serializers.

Main Take Away

• Binary will be the most efficient, but is not human readable (about 1/4 the size of JSON and 1/9 the size of XML)

• Although Json/Xml/Yaml is larger in file size, they are more compatible and human readable

• Output is generally consistent across the board other than some rounding may occur on long floating point numbers depending on the serializer

Original C# Object

This object is used within tests to verify behaviour works as expected.

public static ComplexModel GeneratePopulatedModel()
{
    var a = new ComplexModel();
    a.TestValue = "WOW";
    a.NonPersisted = 100;
    a.Stuff.Add("woop");
    a.Stuff.Add("poow");

    a.NestedValue = new B
    {
        IntValue = 0,
        StringValue = "Hello",
        NestedArray = new[] { new C { FloatValue = 2.43f } }
    };

    a.NestedArray = new B[2];
    a.NestedArray[0] = new B
    {
        IntValue = 20,
        StringValue = "There",
        NestedArray = new[] { new C { FloatValue = 3.5f } }
    };

    a.NestedArray[1] = new B
    {
        IntValue = 30,
        StringValue = "Sir",
        NestedArray = new[]
        {
             new C { FloatValue = 4.1f },
             new C { FloatValue = 5.2f }
        }
    };

    a.AllTypes = new D
    {
        ByteValue = byte.MaxValue,
        ShortValue = short.MaxValue,
        IntValue = int.MaxValue,
        LongValue = long.MaxValue,
        GuidValue = Guid.NewGuid(),
        DateTimeValue = DateTime.MaxValue,
        Vector2Value = Vector2.one,
        Vector3Value = Vector3.one,
        Vector4Value = Vector4.one,
        QuaternionValue = new Quaternion(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f),
        SomeType = SomeTypes.Known
    };

    a.SimpleDictionary.Add("key1", "some-value");
    a.SimpleDictionary.Add("key2", "some-other-value");

    a.ComplexDictionary.Add(new E { IntValue = 10 }, new C { FloatValue = 32.2f });
