Class BinaryStreamDriver

java.lang.Object

com.thoughtworks.xstream.io.AbstractDriver

com.thoughtworks.xstream.io.binary.BinaryStreamDriver

All Implemented Interfaces:

HierarchicalStreamDriver

public class BinaryStreamDriver
extends AbstractDriver

HierarchicalStreamDriver for binary input and output. The driver uses an optimized binary format to store an object graph. The format is not as compact as Java serialization, but a lot more than typical text-based formats like XML. However, due to its nature it cannot use a Reader for input or a Writer for output.

Since:

1.4.2
