  • One of the things that I like about default serialization that I haven't really found anywhere else is the handling of identical references and objects that reference each other. Is there anything that would help me there? Commented Sep 30, 2014 at 15:16
  • No. The way that default serialization works (essentially pushing the entire thing into memory) is what enables references to work. But I don't tend to care about it from that perspective, I care about speed, headaches and size...and both the solutions above beat Java serialization there. Commented Sep 30, 2014 at 19:30
