Would it be possible to have a generic Serialization class that uses delegates to perform Serialization to different formats? It seems the reason why there is a different interface for xml as their is to json is that rails implements an number of "to_json" methods to a whole lot of existing classes

I have been thinking about this as well. First time I have added to a discussion about core so throw the book at me but, It seems somewhat limiting to make Serialisation generic for all formats as there might be a use case where different attributes may need to be serialised for different formats.

Same thing here - I tried to reuse the Serialization API but found it way too complex and confusing, I think a rewrite would be best - still not sure why AM doesn't use ActiveSupport's serialization, though. That would make things much clearer. Nick On 21 Mrz., 15:12, Evgeniy Dolzhenko wrote: >
