Serializing C Intermediate Representations for Efficient and Portable Cs Umd Form

Instructions and help about Serializing C Intermediate Representations For Efficient And Portable Cs Umd

Programs rarely do their tasks alone. They either have the store or send representations of data to be consumed by other programs in a format that is well understood. This serialization process comes with a lot of questions like: how to make sure the deserialized data structure uses the same types as the original one, how not to break programs when you need to change the format and, among others, how to make the process fast. In this video we will talk about two of the commonly used formats: JSON and protobuf and see how both of them address the same issues in different ways. To start, let's take a simple piece of data: a user visits our website and we would like to store when and which URL they have visited. Like in a very simple analytics platform. We can build for example a Java class and pass instances of that class throughout our program. When we want to get outside of these boundaries we'll need to somehow serialize the instance. One way to do that is to create a JSON object tha
