read/pr-str works well, but it's painfully slow relative to something like Redis. JSON libraries and the like would be faster, but might require more contortions if you're using lots of Clojure data types. My 2c: the best overall compromise atm is the Deep-Freeze serialization library (https://github.com/halgari/deep-freeze). It gets you very decent performance and great support for Clojure data types.
You don't mention what Redis client you're using, but be aware that if you're going to be going the binary serialization route, you'll want to communicate with Redis via byte[]s rather than JVM strings. If you're using Jedis, take a look at BinaryJedis. Hope that helps! -- Peter -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
