Serializer implement of haxe.Serializer

The Serializer class can be used to encode values and objects into a String, from which the Unserializer class can recreate the original representation.
This class can be used in two ways :

• create a new Serializer() instance, call its run() method with any argument to retrieve it String representation.
• call Serializer.serialize() to obtain the serialized representation of a single argument.

The specification of the serialization format can be found here.

List of supported formats

• JavaScript native type :
  • Array
  • Boolean
  • Date
  • Null
  • Number (Zero, Integer, Float, Positive / Negative infinity, NaN)
  • Object
  • String
  • Error (Exception).
• « haxe-type » type :
  • List (haxe.ds.List)
  • Bytes (haxe.io.Bytes)
  • IntMap (haxe.ds.IntMap)
  • StringMap (haxe.ds.StringMap)
  • Enum (experimental)
  • Class (experimental)

List of unsupported formats

• ObjectMap (haxe.ds.ObjectMap)
• custom

Note
If you are looking for how to use it, you can look at some examples in the unit tests.
