Description-en: serialization library for C++ (default version)
This package forms part of the Boost C++ Libraries collection,
containing the following functionalities:
.
* proper restoration of pointers to shared data
* serialization of STL containers and other commonly used templates
* data portability - streams of bytes created on one platform should
be readable on any other
* archive interface must be rich enough to permit the creation of an
archive that presents serialized data as XML in a useful manner
.
Here, "serialization" means the reversible deconstruction of an
arbitrary set of C++ data structures to a sequence of bytes.
archive: to refer to a specific rendering of this stream of bytes.
.
This package is a dependency package, which depends on Debian's default
Boost version (currently 1.58).
