Detailed Description

template<typename OStreamT>
requires (std::is_base_of_v<std::ostream, OStreamT>)
class circus::serializer< OStreamT >

A flexible serializer for C++ objects, primitives, STL containers, and user-defined types.

The serializer emits a structured, human-readable output inspired by formats like JSON or YAML, but uses custom token syntax and compile-time traits to determine how to serialize different types.

Template Parameters

OStreamT

Output stream type (must derive from std::ostream)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

serializer()

template<typename OStreamT>

circus::serializer< OStreamT >::serializer ( OStreamT & s )

inline

Constructs a serializer with the given output stream.

Parameters

s	Output stream reference (e.g., std::ostringstream, std::ofstream)

Member Function Documentation

operator()()

template<typename OStreamT>

template<typename... Args>

void circus::serializer< OStreamT >::operator() ( Args &&... args ) &

inline

Serializes the given arguments using function-call syntax.

Example:

serializer s(os);
s(CIRCUS_ENTRY(x), CIRCUS_ENTRY(y));

operator<<()

template<typename OStreamT>

template<typename... Args>

serializer & circus::serializer< OStreamT >::operator<< ( Args &&... args )

inline

Serializes the given arguments using stream-like syntax.

Example:

circus::serializer s(os);
s << CIRCUS_ENTRY(x) << CIRCUS_ENTRY(y);

Returns

Reference to the serializer
