UBinarySerializer

Framework for data binary serialization.

Getting started.

To create serializer for specific object type, you need to create BinarySerializer<> instance:

BinarySerializer<MyObject> serializer = new BinarySerializer<MyObject>();

Then to serialize object to binary data use Serialize or SerializeUnsafe methods.

Difference between them, is that Serialize method serializes the data safely, allows to serialize null-reference objects and saves object data version (generation) for backward-compatibility.
SerializeUnsafe optimized for fast serialization, and disallows null-references.

To control fields and properties during serialization use BinIndexAttribute:

using System;
using NullSoftware.Serialization;

public class Player
{
    [BinIndex(0)]
    public int Health { get; set; }

    [BinIndex(1, Generation = 2)]
    public int Hunger { get; set; }

    [BinIndex(2)]
    public Vector3 Postion { get; set; }

    [BinIndex(3)]
    public GameMode GameMode { get; set; }

    [BinIndex(4)]
    public Texture Skin { get; set; }

    [BinIndex(5)]
    public List<Item> Items { get; set; }
        = new List<Item>();
    
    public int DeathsCount { get; set; } // will not be serialized.
}

Generation allows to add new fields/properties for already serialized object without breaking serialization (in case if Serialize method was used). If there is no BinIndexAttribute specified in object will be serialized all not-readonly fields/properties.

Also can be used RequiredAttribute from System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations to specify that current field/property can not have null-reference even in 'safe' serialization.
