Bitsery
A header-only C++ binary serialization library optimized for speed, minimal size, and real-time networking.
What is Bitsery?
Bitsery is a header-only C++ library for binary serialization, enabling efficient conversion of C++ objects into compact binary formats and back. It is specifically optimized for real-time data delivery scenarios, such as game networking, where speed and minimal data size are critical. The library requires no external dependencies or code generation, working directly with user-defined types.
C++ developers working on performance-sensitive applications like games, real-time networking systems, or embedded software where efficient binary data serialization is required.
Developers choose Bitsery for its exceptional performance in benchmarks, minimal serialized data size, and flexibility through extensions without sacrificing ease of use. Its header-only nature and lack of dependencies simplify integration, while features like configurable error checking and endianness support make it robust for cross-platform development.
