Methods

	Name	Description
	Deserialize	Deserialize a user type instance from a POF stream by reading its state using the specified IPofReader object.
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Serialize	Serialize a user type instance to a POF stream by writing its state using the specified IPofWriter object.
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

This serializer must be instantiated with the intended class which is eventually scanned for the presence of the following annotations.

This serializer supports classes iff they are annotated with the type level annotation; Portable. This annotation is a marker annotation with no children.

All fields annotated with PortableProperty are explicitly deemed POF serializable with the option of specifying overrides to provide explicit behaviour such as:

Explicit POF indexes
Custom ICodec to specify concrete implementations / customizations

The Index (POF index) can be omitted iff the auto-indexing feature is enabled. This is enabled by instantiating this class with the autoIndex constructor argument. This feature determines the index based on any explicit indexes specified and the name of the portable properties. Currently objects with multiple versions is not supported. The following illustrates the auto index algorithm:
Name Explicit Index Determined Index
c 1 1
a 0
b 2
NOTE: This implementation does support objects that implement Evolvable
