[Development] Proposal for an efficient and robust (de)serialization mechanism working with Qt-supported data

[Simon Hausmann]

Hi Arnaud,

I think that perhaps this is also a topic worth discussing at the Qt Contributor Summit, if you can attend. During a face-to-face discussion we may be able to find a good understanding more efficiently of what exactly it is that we need in Qt.

I'm interesting in discussing how we can get away from QDataStream towards something more schema oriented. Perhaps that involves an intermediate abstraction similar to what you're proposal.

Simon

Thank you,
I will then submit a patch with the core of QBind and ask for reviewers.

The development@ list is entirely apt as a place for this discussion.
It's just that we're all rather busy (we just passed a feature freeze for a release we'll be polishing for the near future) and the Qt community generally works by "if no-one objects, go for it".  FWIW (not much, as this is outside my field of expertise) what you describe sounded interesting and worth turning into a code review on https://codereview.qt-project.org/

        Eddy.
