Hyperion
A high-performance polymorphic serializer for .NET, designed for safe message transfer in distributed systems.
What is Hyperion?
Hyperion is a high-performance polymorphic serializer for .NET, designed to safely transfer messages in distributed systems like service buses or actor-based frameworks. It solves the problem of type loss during serialization by encoding type manifests, ensuring objects deserialize with their exact original types. This is crucial for pattern matching and message handling in systems where type fidelity is required.
Developers building distributed .NET systems, especially those using actor models (like Akka.NET), message buses, or any architecture requiring reliable cross-process or cross-network object serialization with polymorphic support.
Developers choose Hyperion for its combination of polymorphism, performance, and safety features like surrogates and type filtering, which are essential for real-time messaging where JSON or Protobuf may fall short on type preservation or flexibility.
