See http://www.boost.org and more specifically: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/libs/serialization/doc/index.html I quote: Here, we use the term "serialization" to mean the reversible deconstruction of an arbitrary set of C++ data structures to a sequence of bytes. Such a system can be used to reconstitute an equivalent structure in another program context. Depending on the context, this might used implement object persistence, remote parameter passing or other facility. In this system we use the term "archive" to refer to a specific rendering of this stream of bytes. This could be a file of binary data, text data, XML, or some other created by the user of this library. <\quote> "some other" could be a SQLite repository. FWIW, Boost is a widely established C++ general library with enough influence the next C++ standard library will borrow a lot from it.
