Currently doing XML serialization however, it is very slow. Looking for a way to save/load information from file very quickly not really interested in how it looks on disc (if anything I want it to be obscured as I don’t want manual editing).
Thinking of binary format however I am not sure if it would be able to serialize properties which may be of a custom type etc.
Any idea’s?
You can try using Sqlite. It is very fast, and will give you complete database implementation with SQL queries on a file.
If you are thinking of trying binary formats, I suggest you try this first.
And can be used with ORM, and can be compressed and encrypted.
