i will take a look. :) i love PHP, actually, but i have a project coming=20
up next year where C++ will probably be the better choice. It also=20
sounds like that would be a great place to take advantage of some of=20
P's features, like threading and db support.

That's s11n's bread and butter. :) i'm normally a very humble person,=20
but when it comes to saving data, i truly believe that s11n has every=20
other serialization framework beat hands-down. Integration with P will=20
make it even more powerful, e.g., by allowing a db-neutral=20
serialization layer. The s11n interface is such that client objects=20
don't care where they save to - they store their state to containers,=20
and Serializers take care of formatting those containers to whatever=20
grammars/DB/data stores they want to.

Enjoy! The website has TONS of docs and examples, so you should be able=20
to find pretty quickly whether or not s11n will do the trick for you.
