Does there exist any serialization library for c++ that is as easy as Google Gson/XStream for java?

Question

It seems like every library I've ever seen recommended doesn't offer an api as easy as this.

MyClass* instance = (MyClass*)SerializationUtility.serialize(someString);

Has anyone heard of something this easy for c++? In hava there are a couple of libraries that are so easy to use for converting text into objects and objects into text. This is one of those "solved problems" things, which is why it surprises me that there is no buzz around a c++ library (that I have heard of.)

Answer 1

Look at Boost.Serialization.
