How Chronicle Wire allows you to serialize and deserialize objects with higher performance

Question

We would be developing a low-latency market data solution for which we are exploring Chronicle products.

Quoting from article

Chronicle Wire allows you to serialize and deserialize objects to and from binary format, and also to a lot of different formats at the same time as it has higher performance than Java standard serialization.

I would like to have more information on this. Spl would love to understand what is done by implementing net.openhft.chronicle.wire.Marshallable makes Wire-based serialization much faster than java serialization and backward-compatible.

Thanks

Answer 1

Wire does the following;

• it supports trees and not graphs, ie no circular references
• doesn't use reflection, which is relatively slow
• supports serialization and deserialization without creating objects
• uses a binary format with a low overhead directly to/from off-heap memory without needing an extra copy
