NAME

DBI::Gofer::Serializer::Base − base class for Gofer serialization

SYNOPSIS

$serializer = $serializer_class−>new();
$string = $serializer−>serialize( $data );
($string, $deserializer_class) = $serializer−>serialize( $data );
$data = $serializer−>deserialize( $string );

DESCRIPTION

DBI::Gofer::Serializer::* classes implement a very minimal subset of the Data::Serializer API.

Gofer serializers are expected to be very fast and are not required to deal with anything other than non-blessed references to arrays and hashes, and plain scalars.
