Low-latency alternative to Java Object Serialization

Show all headers | View raw

Hi again :)

I have this lite Client-Server framework based on Blocking IO using classic
java.net.* Sockets (must develop it myself for a grad course project). The
way I am using to pass data over the Sockets is via Serialization i.e.
ObjectOutputStream#writeObject(...) and ObjectInputStream#readObject(...) I
was wondering if anyone can recommend a Serialization framework that would
outperform the vanilla Java default Serialization?

Three years ago I worked for a "high frequency trading" company and they
avoided default Java Serialization like "the devil to the cross" this is a
Spanish idiom btw ... :) due to its latency. However, I must say that their
remoting framework dated back to the Java stone age and my guess is that the
default Serialization must have improved over the years; I don't have hard
numbers to judge though. I remember JBoss Middleware implementation having
some Serialization framework for this very same reason ... have to check
that too.

Can anyone advice what would be best than Java Serialization without
requiring an unreasonably heavy dependency footprint?

Many thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Giovanni
