  <title>Fast, compact, powerful binary (de-)serialization</title>

  <description>_Sereal_ is an efficient, compact-output, binary and feature-rich

serialization protocol. The Perl encoder is implemented as the

Sereal::Encoder module, the Perl decoder correspondingly as

Sereal::Decoder. They are distributed separately to allow for safe

upgrading without downtime. (Hint: Upgrade the decoder everywhere first,

then the encoder.)

​

This 'Sereal' module is a very thin wrapper around both 'Sereal::Encoder'

and 'Sereal::Decoder'. It depends on both and loads both. So if you have a

user of both encoder and decoder, it is enough to depend on a particular

version of 'Sereal' and you'll get the most recent released versions of

'Sereal::Encoder' and 'Sereal::Decoder' whose version is smaller than or

equal to the version of 'Sereal' you depend on.

​

The protocol specification and many other bits of documentation can be

found in the github repository. Right now, the specification is at

https://github.com/Sereal/Sereal/blob/master/sereal_spec.pod, there is a

discussion of the design objectives in

https://github.com/Sereal/Sereal/blob/master/README.pod, and the output of

our benchmarks can be seen at

https://github.com/Sereal/Sereal/wiki/Sereal-Comparison-Graphs.
