	%X This paper compares six approaches of object serialization
from qualitative and quantitative aspects. Those are object
serialization in Java, IDL, XStream, Protocol Buffers, Apache Avro,
and MessagePack. Using each approach, a common example is
serialized to a file and the size of the file is measured. The qualitative
comparison works are investigated in the way of checking whether
schema definition is required or not, whether schema compiler is
required or not, whether serialization is based on ascii or binary, and
which programming languages are supported. It is clear that there
is no best solution. Each solution makes good in the context it was
developed.
