I need to convert objects to a byte[] to be stored in the Tokyo Cabinet key-value store. I also need to unbyte the byte[] to an Object when reading from the key-value store.
Are there any packages out there that will help me with this task? Or would the best solution to implement it myself?
public static byte[] serialize(Object obj) throws IOException {
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ObjectOutputStream os = new ObjectOutputStream(out);
os.writeObject(obj);
return out.toByteArray();
}
public static Object deserialize(byte[] data) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
ByteArrayInputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(data);
ObjectInputStream is = new ObjectInputStream(in);
return is.readObject();
}
