Serialization

Implements a serialization library. Supports reading and writing the usual Scheme primitives, as well as hash tables, pathnames and decoded times.

Procedures

serialize-to-port obj port

Serializes an object to the supplied output port.

deserialize-from-port port

Deserializes an object to the supplied input port.

serialize-to-file obj pathname

Serializes an object to a file.

deserialize-from-file pathname

Deserializes an object from a file.

as-string obj

Serializes an object to a string.

(as-string (list 1 2 3 (make-eq-hash-table)))
;Value 22753: "(1 2 3 (hash-table ()))"

Generic Operators

serialize

Serializes a Scheme object. For most primitives this is equal to the identity function, but for special objects (e.g. hash tables) it does some extra processing. The output is a human-readable s-expression.

deserialize

Deserializes an s-expression. The inverse function of serialize.
