PHP implementation of the C++ Cereal serialization library

Cereal PHP

This library implements the functionality of the C++ serialization library Cereal in pure PHP.

It intends to create a compatible serialization feature to enable data exchange between C++ and PHP applications.

Installation

Use Composer to install this library:

composer require dijky/cereal-php

Requirements and Limitations

• Cereal PHP requires a 64 bit installation of PHP 7.0 or higher
• PHP does not support unsigned 64 bit integers; all uses of Integral\UInt64 are therefore effectively limited to 63 bits.
  This includes the SizeTag for Vector size and Str length.
