Speedy & Easy C# Class Serialization

SECCS

Speedy & Easy C# Class Serialization

Purpose

SECCS is a tool for performant binary serialization of C# classes containing arbitrary data. It is quick and easy to use, requiring only an attribute on any classes you want to serialize.

Performance

The performance and output size of SECCS is heavily dependent on the buffer you use, which in this case is System.IO.BinaryWriter and System.IO.BinaryReader for serialization and deserialization respectively.

Serialization:

Method	Mean	Error	StdDev
SECCS	746.3 ns	4.735 ns	4.429 ns
NewtonsoftJson	6,577.1 ns	14.282 ns	11.926 ns
MessagePack	519.1 ns	5.469 ns	5.115 ns

Deserialization:

Method	Mean	Error	StdDev
SECCS	11.91 us	1.1663 us	3.384 us
NewtonsoftJson	56.95 us	2.4383 us	6.957 us
MessagePack	13.25 us	0.9638 us	2.781 us

Library	Output size
SECCS	102 bytes
Newtonsoft.Json	149 bytes
MessagePack	40 bytes
