Crell/Serde 1.5 released

It's amazing what you can do when someone is willing to pay for the time!

There have been two new releases of Crell/Serde recently, leading to the latest, Serde 1.5. This is an important release, not because of how much is in it but what major things are in it.

That's right, Serde now has support for union, intersection, and compound types! And it includes "array serialized" objects, too.

Announcing Crell/Serde 1.0.0

Submitted by Larry on 9 November 2023 - 7:39pm

I am pleased to announce that the trio of libraries I built while at TYPO3 have now reached a fully stable release. In particular, Crell/Serde is now the most robust, powerful, and performant serialization library available for PHP today!

Serde is inspired by the Rust library of the same name, and driven almost entirely by PHP Attributes, with entirely pure-function object-oriented code. It's easy to configure, easy to use, and rock solid.
