Interface Portable

All Known Subinterfaces:
VersionedPortable
@Deprecated(since="5.4", forRemoval=true) public interface Portable
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
Portable Serialization has been deprecated. We recommend you use Compact Serialization as Portable Serialization will be removed as of version 7.0.
Portable provides an alternative serialization method. Instead of relying on reflection, each Portable is created by a registered PortableFactory.

Portable serialization has the following advantages:

  • Support multiple versions of the same object type. (See SerializationConfig.setPortableVersion(int))
  • Fetching individual fields without having to rely on reflection.
  • Querying and indexing support without de-serialization and/or reflection.
