People keep reinventing serialisation, generally badly. A year ago I proposed my own as a joke:

What I find fascinating, is that I keep seing proposals which are probably worse…

The grumpy serialisation format

Every few years we reinvent data serialisation. CDR (CORBA) replaced EDI, and was replaced by XML, and now, clearly JSON is the solution, while ASN.1 still lurks in the shadows. And then it stuck m…

🚀 Ah, the ever-elusive paradise of Rust's ecosystem: a place where adding a new #serialization library is akin to asking developers to rewrite the Ten Commandments every time. 😅 Who needs coherence when you've got Rust's chaotic serialization library jamboree, right? 🎉

An Incoherent Rust

Coherence and the orphan rules are a frequent source of complaints about Rust, and a common topic of language proposals. This post covers most of the existing proposals around coherence and my vision for how we should solve coherence once and for all.

What's a good #format to serialize simple structured #data in an efficient way?

I'm thinking about some binary #XML encoding. Also, #ASN.1 because it natively uses integers, not just strings. Is the packed representation (PER) widely supported?

The data will be a bunch of interleaved time series streams, so variable field lengths could be a big win.

Is there a format for stuff like that?

#Matroska's EBML? Only I'd have to hack the schema in.
