[Open Babel] Serializing OBMol to memory

[<ern...@ba...>]

Hello,

what would be the preferred method of serializing an OBMol object into 
memory?

Endianness et al. is not an issue, but the whole data structure should be 
saved.

I assume that instead of storing e.g. a SMILES string and building the 
OBMol every time it's needed from that string, reading a readymade OBMol 
into memory is faster...?

Best Regards
