Binary Object Serialization reconstructs object graphs, including registered application types, collections, polymorphic values, and optional shared references.

Choose a mode

Mode Use it when Start here
Xlang (default) Bytes cross language boundaries Xlang Serialization
Native Every writer and reader uses one Fory implementation family Native serialization

Xlang and native are the only object-serialization modes. Row Format is a random-access analytical representation, and Fory JSON is a Java JSON codec; use the format chooser when object reconstruction is not your goal.

Read the concepts and modes

Read these pages before choosing the Fory API for a language:

  1. Core Concepts explains object graphs, types, schemas, references, polymorphism, and schema evolution across both modes.
  2. Xlang Serialization explains the portable format used by default and the rules that Fory implementations in different languages must share.
  3. Native Serialization explains when an implementation-specific native format is appropriate.
