CppSerializer Project

CppSerializer is a simple C++ library that provides serialization and parsing capabilities. It allows you to easily serialize and deserialize data structures, including custom types, to and from various formats, such as text files.

Usage

Including CppSerializer

#include "CppSerializer.h"

Defining a Custom Type for Serialization

To add support for a custom type (e.g., Vec2f), use the provided macros to extend the functionality of the serializer and parser.

struct Vec2f
{
	Vec2f(float x = 0, float y = 0) : x(x), y(y) {}

	float x;
	float y;

	std::string ToString() const
	{
		return std::to_string(x) + " " + std::to_string(y);
	}
};

template<>
Vec2f CppSer::StringSerializer::As<Vec2f>() const
{
	std::istringstream ss(m_content);
	Vec2f vec2;
	ss >> vec2.x >> vec2.y;
	return vec2;
}

template<>
CppSer::Serializer& CppSer::Serializer::operator<<(const Vec2f& value)
{
	const std::string stringValue = value.ToString();
	*this << stringValue.c_str();
	return *this;
}
