Is there any good binary serializer & deserializer for C / C++?

  I'm aware there is Kaitai Struct which can handle binary parsing (deserializing). And I have some success previously with python Construct which can do both serialize & deserialize, but it's written in python.

  I have a library and tooling that using code generation will allow you to automatically generate serialization/deserialization to your custom binary format. It uses the visitor pattern and code generation for static reflection (eg iterating over fields of a struct). Check it out at https://github.com/jimmyorourke/reflecxx. Particularly it includes an automatic to/from json, which you could use as a starting point for how to write your own visitor.
