Package ca.uqac.lif.azrael.clone Description

Serializer that clones objects.

This serializer shows how Azrael's generic structure can be used to perform something different from serialization. In this case, the object printer simply returns the object it is given. The object reader, in turn, creates a copy of every object it receives. The end result is that a serialization followed by a deserialization creates a deep clone of the original object.
