what is the best API for serialization?
C++ has some reflection. You can checkout cista: https://github.com/felixguendling/cista

Ask HN: What happened to flatbuffers? Are they being used?
If you're looking for something faster but C++ specific, more compact in serialized size, more efficient in serialization you can try cista: https://github.com/felixguendling/cista

Adding reflection to C++ just to make a game work
If you want to see, what's possible with plain C++ (no language changes needed), checkout https://github.com/felixguendling/cista

alpaca: A new serialization library written in C++17 - Pack C++ structs into a compact byte-array without any macros or boilerplate
Can you give us some hint on what would be different in your project from the libraries that do roughly the same? The tser author has made a comment here, but I know that cista and zpp_bits probably have some overlap with alpaca. I just don't have a specific use case now, so I don't have an urge to dive deep into the topic, but in the past I've needed a library like yours, and right now I would have to evaluate half a dozen libraries to know would be "best" or more appropriate.

What C++ library do you wish existed but hasn’t been created yet?
I'm not sure this is quite what you're asking for, but this library has been super helpful to me in the past : https://github.com/Neargye/magic_enum
- Usable Magic Enums for C++
-
Fully Permissive License C++ Logger For Embedded System
Also, a shoutout to Magic Enum: https://github.com/Neargye/magic_enum
- Favorite Ways of Stringifying Enums
-
enum_name (yet another enum to/from string conversion utility >=C++11)
What does this have to offer over magic_enum?
-
quill v2.7.0 released - Asynchronous Low Latency C++ Logging Library
But it's a hack, and I prefer not to use hacks in production, because of their significant limitations:
-
Enums print numbers instead of words
You can either write a to string(view) function for your enum or use https://github.com/Neargye/magic_enum
-
Enums with methods
Why reinvent the wheel? magic_enum
-
Error: Boost bimap can't convert const CompatibleKey to Key&
Also if you want to convert enum members to string representation I suggest you just use magic_enum instead, much smaller dependency.
-
Macro to write enum and converter from and to string
Magic Enum provides that.
