Please advise me a simple serialization package to wrap Strings, Integers, Arrays and Hashtables into a character stream. I need to exchange data between Java applet and Rails app and I want to do it as simple as it can be. Gábor
You could give a try to JSON http://www.crockford.com/JSON/. The Ruby parser is only a single line of code !

Another approach would be to define a schema for your interchange format and use JAXB on the Java side, and some Schema->Ruby binding tool on Ruby''s side. I''ve used the same approach for Java->.Net interop. Way over the top for this though :-) Anyone fancy porting XStream to Ruby? :-) sam On 5/3/05, Gábor SEBESTYÉN <segabor-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > > On 2005.05.03., at 10:24, Faissolle, Julien wrote: > > > You could give a try to JSON http://www.crockford.com/JSON/.

There''s a Ruby-JSON lib (http://sourceforge.net/projects/json) that
works well. It has a real Lexer for property JSON evaling. The
interface is really awkward though.
What about YAML? It''s heavily used in Rails already. It just
doesn''t
get any clearer than the YAML.rb page: http://yaml4r.sourceforge.net/
("Armless birds basically falling everywhere").

You can do RPC in JSON with JSON-RPC (http://json-rpc.org/impl.xhtml). There are implementations in Ruby and Java. -----Original Message----- From: rails-bounces-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org [mailto:rails-bounces-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org] On Behalf Of Sam Newman Sent: Tuesday, May 03, 2005 5:40 PM To: rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org Subject: Re: [Rails] simple serialization package Another approach would be to define a schema for your interchange format and use JAXB on the Java side, and some Schema->Ruby binding tool on Ruby''s side.

If you go with YAML, there is at least one Java YAML parser out there - try the one at http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~zenaan/zenaan/files/yamljava/ which I believe supercedes the one at http://helide.com/g/yaml/ (those people moved on to an OGDL parser - http://ogdl.sourceforge.net/ - I don''t know if there is a ruby parser for that. Too Many Markup Languages....) On 5/3/05, Rick Olson <technoweenie-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> There''s a Ruby-JSON lib (http://sourceforge.net/projects/json) that > works well.
