There are also: * https://metacpan.org/release/Storable - a binary format that is specific for Perl, which works very well. Using it avoids some JSON-specific limitations such as no references to scalars. Make sure you use "nstore" and friends instead of "store". * http://blog.booking.com/the-next-sereal-is-coming.html - there's also this, but I have no experience with it. * There are other formats such as YAML, but YAML should be avoided because it's too complex and quirky (at least for serialisation).
