Improving Serialization and Memory Efficiency With a LongConverter
Published: 2024-06-20
Chronicle Wire is a powerful open-source serialization library for high-performance data exchange in various binary and text formats, including YAML. Strings in your data structures can have significant overhead regarding memory usage and access patterns. For each String, you have two objects, the String object, and the char[] or byte[], which contains the actual text. Strings are also immutable, and object pooling tends to create many objects for garbage collection in initialization and deserialization.
