This module contains procs for serialization and deseralization of arbitrary Nimrod data structures. The serialization format uses JSON.

Restriction: For objects their type is not serialized. This means essentially that it does not work if the object has some other runtime type than its compiletime type:

type
  TA = object
  TB = object of TA
    f: int

var
  a: ref TA
  b: ref TB

new(b)
a = b
echo($$a[]) # produces "{}", not "{f: 0}"

Procs

proc load[T](s: PStream; data: var T): loads data from the stream s. Raises EIO in case of an error.
proc store[T](s: PStream; data: T): stores data into the stream s. Raises EIO in case of an error.
proc `$$`[T](x: T): string: returns a string representation of x.
proc to[T](data: string): T: reads data and transforms it to a T.
