PODStream will serialize and deserialize your fields from/to BytesInput / BytesOutput.
Given a position class such as:
@:build(podstream.SerializerMacro.build())
class Position
{
@Short public var x:Float;
@Short public var y:Float;
public function new(x:Float, y:Float)
{
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
}You can prefix your fields with:
@Short@Int@Float@Bool@Byte@String
Note: Arrays are not supported.
In the example above the haxe macro will generate two methods which will transform your class to:
class Position
{
public var _id:Int = 0;
public static var __id:Int = 0;
public var x:Float;
public var y:Float;
public function new(x:Float, y:Float)
{
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
public function unserialize(bi)
{
x = bi.readInt16();
y = bi.readInt16();
}
public function serialize(bo)
{
bo.writeInt16(Std.int(x));
bo.writeInt16(Std.int(y));
}
}The library is used in two steps:
- Mark your fields with the appropriate serialization
- Pass your
BytesInputandBytesOutputaround
You can redirect deserializations to other variables such as:
@Short('netx') var x:Float;
In this case the variable x will be serialized as a Short but will be unserialized and assigned to the variable netx. It can be helpful when you are sharing the same class between a client & a server.
@:build(podstream.SerializerMacro.build())
class Position2
{
@Short("netx") public var x:Float;
@Short("nety") public var y:Float;
public var netx:Float;
public var nety:Float;
public function new(x:Float, y:Float)
{
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
}will generate:
class Position2
{
public var _id:Int = 1;
public static var __id:Int = 1;
public var x:Float;
public var y:Float;
public var netx:Float;
public var nety:Float;
public function new(x:Float, y:Float)
{
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
public function unserialize(bi)
{
netx = bi.readInt16();
nety = bi.readInt16();
}
public function serialize(bo)
{
bo.writeInt16(Std.int(x));
bo.writeInt16(Std.int(y));
}
}Each class will be assigned a unique public & static ID such as myInstance._id and MyClass.__id.
You can call podstream.SerializerMacro.getSerialized() from your application and get an Array<String> of the types serialized.
You can then use Type.resolveClass("YourClassName") to resolve the type from the string returned if needed.
