Having maintained compatibility of Java serializable object, such approach gives me the creep. How would your read code end up after a couple of evolutions, with ifs and other condition branches? Compared with serializable objects, ProtoStream offers runtime validation based on the proto file which should help maintenance. > There is no example in your tests that I could find. > > Do you think either the protostuff approach or even protostuff itself is salvageable ? There were prototypes written with conversion between domain objects and protoXyz generated classes and the code quite ugly.
