Biggest differences of Thrift vs Protocol Buffers? [closed]

They both offer many of the same features; however, there are some differences: Thrift supports ‘exceptions’ Protocol Buffers have much better documentation/examples Thrift has a builtin Set type Protocol Buffers allow “extensions” – you can extend an external proto to add extra fields, while still allowing external code to operate on the values. There is … Read more

Passing complex navigation parameters with MvvmCross ShowViewModel

I believe there may be some gremlins in that previous answer – will log as an issue :/ There are other possible routes to achieve this type of complex serializable object navigation still using Json and overriding parts of the framework, but actually I think that it might be better to just use your own … Read more

$(this).serialize() — How to add a value?

While matt b’s answer will work, you can also use .serializeArray() to get an array from the form data, modify it, and use jQuery.param() to convert it to a url-encoded form. This way, jQuery handles the serialisation of your extra data for you. var data = $(this).serializeArray(); // convert form to array data.push({name: “NonFormValue”, value: … Read more

You won’t need to implement Serialize yourself with this: #[derive(Debug, Serialize)] #[serde(untagged)] enum TValue<‘a> { String(&’a str), Int(&’a i32), } If you wanted to implement Serialize yourself, I believe you want to skip your variant so you should not use serialize_newtype_variant() as it … Read more

What is the difference between Serialization and Marshaling?

Marshaling and serialization are loosely synonymous in the context of remote procedure call, but semantically different as a matter of intent. In particular, marshaling is about getting parameters from here to there, while serialization is about copying structured data to or from a primitive form such as a byte stream. In this sense, serialization is … Read more

JSON.NET as a WebAPI 2 OData serializer vs ODataMediaTypeFormatter

I’ve already figured out my problem and found the solution. OData uses separate media type formatters, inherited from ODataMediaTypeFormatter. Also OData uses different formatters for serialization and deserialization. For replacing this behavior we have to implement descendants of ODataDeserializerProvider and/or ODataSerializerProvider classes and add those classes to the HttpConfiguration.Formatters collections by var odataFormatters = ODataMediaTypeFormatters … Read more
