s11nlite is a simplified subset of the s11n interface, combining the APIs from the core and the s11n::io namespace into a single API.
It refines the s11n interface to almost-minimal, while still leaving the full power of the underlying framework at clients' disposals if they need it. It also provides a binding to the default i/o implementation (the s11n::io-related Serializers), meaning that clients don't have to deal with file formats at all, and almost never even need to deal with the Serializer interface.
It is completely compatible with the core s11n framework, but directly provides only a subset of the interface: those operations common to most client-side use-cases, and those functions where s11nlite can eliminate one of the required template parameters (s11n's conventional NodeType argument, which s11nlite hard-codes in its note_type typedef).
This implementation can easily be used as a basis for writing custom client-side, s11n-based serialization frameworks.
Suggestions for including specific features into this interface are of course welcomed.
Common conventions concerning this API:
As of version 1.1, s11nlite is primarily a wrapper around the type s11nlite::client_api<>. Many of s11nlite's functions internally use a client_api instance to do their work. This allows clients to swap out most of the s11nlite implementation with their own at runtime, while still allowing all s11nlite clients to use the same front-end API.

client_interface defines the interface used/returned by the instance() functions.
By subclassing this type and reimplmenting the appropriate virtual functions, a client-supplied instance of this type can be plugged in as the primary s11nlite API handler. This allows, for example, transparently adding compression or network support to s11nlite.
Definition at line 82 of file s11nlite.hpp.
The s11n::node_traits type for node_type.
Definition at line 99 of file s11nlite.hpp.
node_type is the type used to store/load a Serializable object's data.
FYI: node_type might change to s11n::s11n_node in 1.1, because that implementation is a tiny bit more lightweight than s11n::data_node, and was designed specifically with node_traits in mind (data_node came much earlier than either of them). If you only use node_traits to access nodes' data then your code will be oblivious to this change (but will need a recompile).
Definition at line 96 of file s11nlite.hpp.
This is the base-most type of the serializers used by s11nlite.
Definition at line 104 of file s11nlite.hpp.
serializer_interface* s11nlite::create_serializer | ( | const std::string & | classname | ) | [inline] |
Returns a new instance of the given serializer class, or 0 if one could not be loaded.
classname must represent a subtype of serializer_interface.
The caller owns the returned pointer.
You can also pass a serializer's cookie here, and that should return the same thing as its class name would.
The internally-supported serializes all support a "friendly form" of the name, an alias registered with their classloader. Passing either this name or the cookie of the Serializer should return the same thing as the classname itself would.
Short-form names of internally-supported Serializers:
Note that the short-form name is always the same as that of the underlying Serializer class, minus the _serializer suffix. This is purely a convention, and not a rule. This command will use s11n::plugin support, if available, to dynamically load new serializers. Simply name the DLL the same as the class, without any namespace part in the filename, and your platform-specific DLL file extension (e.g. .dll, .so, or .dynlib).
Returns a new instance of the given serializer class, or 0 if one could not be loaded.
e.g., register_serializer() will do the trick.
If no serializer for classname is found and classname does not contain the string "_serializer", then then (classname+"_serializer") is tried. This is intended to ease DLL lookups for the conventional abbreviations for the Serializer classes (i.e., my_serializer).
The caller owns the returned pointer, which may be 0.
Definition at line 158 of file serializers.hpp.
serializer_interface* s11nlite::create_serializer | ( | ) |
Returns a new instance of the default serializer class.
The caller owns the returned pointer.
bool s11nlite::deserialize | ( | const node_type & | src, | |
DeserializableT & | target | |||
) | [inline] |
Tries to deserialize src into target.
Returns true on success. If false is returned then target is not guaranteed to be in a useful state: this depends entirely on the object (but, it could be argued, it it was in a useful state its deserialize operator would have returned true!).
DO NOT PASS A POINTER TYPE TO THIS FUNCTION. It will not do what you want it to, and it will likely cause a leak. If you want to directly deserialize to a pointer, use the s11n::deserialize<>() overload which takes a reference to a pointer.

SerializableType* s11nlite::deserialize | ( | const node_type & | src | ) | [inline] |
See s11n::deserialize().
ACHTUNG: if you are using both s11n and s11nlite namespaces this function will be ambiguous with one provided in the namespace s11n. You must then qualify it with the namespace of the one you wish to use.

DeserializableT* s11nlite::deserialize_subnode | ( | const node_type & | src, | |

Returns 0 if no such file is found.

bool s11nlite::deserialize_subnode | ( | const node_type & | src, | |

const node_type* s11nlite::find_child | ( | const node_type & | parent, | |

node_type* s11nlite::find_child | ( | node_type & | parent, | |
const std::string | subnodename | |||
) |
A non-const overload.
Ownership is not modified by calling this function: normally the parent node owns it.
void s11nlite::instance | ( | client_interface * | newinstance | ) |
Sets the client_interface object used by the s11nlite API.
Ownership of newinstance IS NOT transfered. Passing NULL will cause it to revert to the default instance. newinstance must live as long as any client is using s11nlite, and when newinstance is destroyed, 0 must be passed to this function to disassociate the object from the library.
S11N_EXPORT_API client_interface& s11nlite::instance | ( | ) |
Returns the client_interface object used by the s11nlite API.
There is guaranteed to return *some* object, except possibly post-main() (where all bets are off).
See instance(client_interface*) for more details.
