NAME
   Sereal - Fast, compact, powerful binary (de-)serialization

SYNOPSIS
     use Sereal qw(encode_sereal decode_sereal looks_like_sereal);

DESCRIPTION
   This is an experimental module. Before using it in production, please
   get in touch with the authors!

   *Sereal* is an efficient, compact-output, binary and feature-rich
   serialization protocol. The Perl encoder is implemented as the
   Sereal::Encoder module, the Perl decoder correspondingly as
   Sereal::Decoder. They are distributed separately to allow for safe
   upgrading without downtime. (Hint: Upgrade the decoder everywhere first,
   then the encoder.)

   This "Sereal" module is a very thin wrapper around both
   "Sereal::Encoder" and "Sereal::Decoder". It depends on both and loads
   both. So if you have a user of both encoder and decoder, it is enough to
   depend on a particular version of "Sereal" and you'll get the most
   recent released versions of "Sereal::Encoder" and "Sereal::Decoder"
   whose version is smaller than or equal to the version of "Sereal" you
   depend on.

   The protocol specification and many other bits of documentation can be
   found in the github repository. Right now, the specification is at
   <https://github.com/Sereal/Sereal/blob/master/sereal_spec.pod>, there is
   a discussion of the design objectives in
   <https://github.com/Sereal/Sereal/blob/master/README.pod>, and the
   output of our benchmarks can be seen at
   <https://github.com/Sereal/Sereal/wiki/Sereal-Comparison-Graphs>.

 EXPORTED FUNCTIONS
   It is recommended to use the object-oriented interface of
   "Sereal::Encoder" and "Sereal::Decoder" if you care about performance.

   You can optionally import three functions from "Sereal". "encode_sereal"
   is the same function as Sereal::Encoder's "encode_sereal" function.
   "decode_sereal" and "looks_like_sereal" are the same as
   Sereal::Decoder's functions of the same names.

   After loading the "Sereal" module, both "Sereal::Encoder" and
   "Sereal::Decoder" are guaranteed to be loaded, so you can use their
   object-oriented interface.
