| A general-purpose serialization facility for Dart Objects. |
| |
| This provides the ability to save and restore objects to pluggable |
| Formats using pluggable Rules. |
| These rules can use mirrors or be hard-coded. The main principle |
| is using only public APIs on the serialized objects, so changes to the |
| internal representation do not break previous serializations. It also handles |
| cycles, different representations, filling in known objects on the |
| receiving side, and other issues. It is not as much intended for |
| APIs using JSON to pass acyclic structures without class information, |
| and is fairly heavweight and expensive for doing that compared to simpler |
| approaches. |
