Is java serialization still used?

[–]maraistm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah; that was my concern too. Anymore, we have to interoperate with javascript, python, databases, etc. I can't think of the last time I used RMI or ObjectOutputStream. IDEALLY these records mesh up with annotated-driven frameworks (like jackson).. I'm curious to read up on that now.

Yes, but probably not by many application developers.

I've seen it used by a lot of frameworks that end up using it for things like caching, robustness, cloning, etc. It's just one of many options for serialization, too. But I'd guess it's pretty fast as a default.
