GitHub - realtimetech-solution/opack: Fast object or data serialize and deserialize library
First of all, you're comparing this to GSON and Kryo, how does it compare to Msgpack, fast-serialization, but also Elsa and I'm sure, many others? Are there any limitations and/or trade-offs?

Other serialization alternatives have a schema validation option: e.g., Avro, Kryo and Protocol Buffers. Interestingly enough, gRPC uses Protobuf to offer RPC across distributed components:

If you need something quick and dirty to replace the default java serialization with zero configuration needed, use Kryo
- Downsides to using sun.misc.unsafe for serialization (assuming the code is thoroughly-tested)?
