Hello all, I was playing with the Kryo (https://code.google.com/p/kryo/) serialization library, comparing it to Java default serialization and Marshalling/Unmarshalling with JaxB.
Taking aside Java Serialization, which would require me to implement Serializable and I can't, I like the fact that Kryo: - has serialized my JaxB Annotated classes 5 time faster than JaxB Marshalling - it has proved to be compatible using only the default "FieldSerializer", which don't require to implement Serializable on the classes. I wonder if anyone has experience with Camel and Kryo and if anyone has ever thought of a camel-kryo dataformat. I now use JaxB to put classes in ActiveMQ, I'm worried with performances, I think such data format would be able to provide a faster alternative non intrusive alternative. Here the result of my comparison of Kryo vs JaxB (only marshalling/serialization, dataset of 1000 random generated classes which in XML are each one 480 nodes in average, with about 1,2 attributes per node). Testing JaxB Marshalling Total Time: 1.186 seconds Total Size: 37689851 (string length) Testing Serialization with Kryo Total Time: 0.216 seconds Total Size: 3674796 (bytes) Checking Serialization with Kryo Checked 1000 classes, 1000 instances, 1000 marshalled strings (in this last test I've verified the classes serialized/deserialized with Kryo comparing them as marshalled XML string with .equals() )
