[pclasses-devel] Simpler client-side s11n API...

[stephan b. <st...@s1...>]

Yo,

Before i go to bed i wanted to introduce you to a new part of the SIO 
API:

S11nNode now contains the same de/serialize() members as the SIO 
namespace. It does not have the load/save() (file/stream-based) 
variants because those require knowledge of the SerializerInterface, 
and S11nNode inherently doesn't know that.

Anyway, here's a short demo:

	CERR << "Time...\n";
	Time thetime( 12, 13, 14 );
	Date thedate( 2005, 1, 30 );
	DateTime dt( thedate, thetime );

	// save using SIO interface:
	save( thetime, std::cout );
	save( thedate, std::cout );
	save( dt, std::cout );

	CERR << "Using S11nNode-specific API...\n";
	S11nNode tmnode;
	assert( tmnode.serialize( dt ) );
	assert( save( tmnode, std::cout ) );

	DateTime * pdt = tmnode.deserialize<DateTime>();
	assert( pdt );
	CERR << "deserialized (DateTime*) == " << *pdt<<"\n";
	delete pdt;
	DateTime vdt;
	assert( tmnode.deserialize( vdt ) );
	CERR << "deserialized DateTime == " << vdt<<"\n";

Output...
