EBS

EBS - Element Based Serialization is a simple serialization format I made to use for my personal projects.

Reading/Writing

Reading and Writing to a file or stream with EBS is easy, you can use EBS.write(EbsElement, OutputStream) to write to an output stream or EBS.writeFile(EbsElement, File)/EbsIo.writeFile(EbsElement, Path) to write to a file. To read an element use EbsIo.read(InputStream), EbsIo.readFile(File) or EbsIo.readFile(Path)

Compounds

Most data in EBS will be stored in something called a compound, you can create it with EbsCompound.create() or EbsCompound.create(int) if you want the compound to start with a specific size.

The EbsCompound is split into 3 different interfaces, CompoundGetter which hosts getter methods such as EbsElement.get(String); CompoundSetter which has methods relating to adding elements into the compound and finally EbsCompound itself which implements EbsElement.
