  1. serde

    Serialization framework for Rust

    I had used C#, Java, JS, Dart and I haven't see an ecosystem like https://serde.rs/ , where we have a consistent pattern shared between all libraries to serialize and deserialize data, all of this backed by the Rust trait system.

  2. InfluxDB

    InfluxDB high-performance time series database. Collect, organize, and act on massive volumes of high-resolution data to power real-time intelligent systems.

  3. Serde

    Robust Serde (serialization/deserialization) library for PHP 8. (by Crell)

    In PHP there is a lib that draws inspiration from serde https://github.com/Crell/Serde

  4. kotlinx.serialization

    Kotlin multiplatform / multi-format serialization

    I think kotlinx.serialization might come close, but looks like custom Encoders and Decoders are still experimental.

  5. serde

    Serde.NET is a C# port of the popular Serde serialization library for Rust (by serdedotnet)

    Serde.NET seems to do something along these lines at least.

  6. Jackson JSON Processor

    Main Portal page for the Jackson project

    In practical terms, Jackson achieves the same purpose for Java. It was born as a Json parser, but nowadays supports multiple formats and it's widely used in the Java community.

  7. ppx_deriving

    Type-driven code generation for OCaml

    Ocaml has the amazing ppx_deriving which can be used for serialization / deserialization in various formats.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
