Did you consider using an encoding which uses variable number of bytes? If yes, I would be interested to know your reason for not choosing such an encoding. Efficiency?
I am testing/benchmarking one right now I wrote for 'Integer', so far, I think it may be better in time _and_ space! cache effects no doubt. A nice thing about it is that for the common case, short ascii strings, the serialized form takes up exactly as much as they would in C, very nice. :) John -- John Meacham - ⑆repetae.net⑆john⑈
