这里比较Java对象序列化 XML JSON Kryo POF等序列化性能比较。
很多人以为JDK的Java序列化肯定是将Java对象转换成二进制序列化最快的方式，JDK7出来以后，我们发现实际上每次新的JDK比旧版本快。
我们通常以为将Java对象序列化成二进制比序列化成XML或Json更快，其实是错误的，如果你关心性能，建议避免Java序列化。
Java序列化有很多的要求，最主要的一个是包含能够序列化任何东西（或至少任何实现Serializable接口）。这样才能进入其他JVM之中，这很重要，所以有时性能不是主要的要求，标准的格式才最重要。
我们经常看到CPU花费很多时间内进行Java序列化，下面我们研究一下，假设一定Order，虽然只有几个字节，但是序列化以后不是几十个字节，而是600多个字节：
Ordr代码：
public class Order implements Serializable {
private long id;
private String description;
private BigDecimal totalCost = BigDecimal.valueOf(0);
private List orderLines = new ArrayList();
private Customer customer;
...
}
序列化输出：
----sr--model.Order----h#-----J--idL--customert--Lmodel/Customer;L--descriptiont--Ljava/lang/String;L--orderLinest--Ljava/util/List;L--totalCostt--Ljava/math/BigDecimal;xp--------ppsr--java.util.ArrayListx-----a----I--sizexp----w-----sr--model.OrderLine--&-1-S----I--lineNumberL--costq-~--L--descriptionq-~--L--ordert--Lmodel/Order;xp----sr--java.math.BigDecimalT--W--(O---I--scaleL--intValt--Ljava/math/BigInteger;xr--java.lang.Number-----------xp----sr--java.math.BigInteger-----;-----I--bitCountI--bitLengthI--firstNonzeroByteNumI--lowestSetBitI--signum[--magnitudet--[Bxq-~----------------------ur--[B------T----xp----xxpq-~--xq-~--
正如你可能已经注意到，Java序列化写入不仅是完整的类名，也包含整个类的定义，包含所有被引用的类。类定义可以是相当大的，也许构成了性能和效率的问题，当然这是编写一个单一的对象。如果您正在编写了大量相同的类的对象，这时类定义的开销通常不是一个大问题。另一件事情是，如果你的对象有一类的引用（如元数据对象），那么Java序列化将写入整个类的定义，不只是类的名称，因此，使用Java序列化写出元数据（meta-data）是非常昂贵的。
Externalizable
通过实现Externalizable接口，这是可能优化Java序列化的。实现此接口，避免写出整个类定义，只是类名被写入。它需要你实施readExternal和writeExternal方法方法的，所以需要做一些工作，但相比仅仅是实现Serializable更快，更高效。
Externalizable对小数目对象有效的多。但是对大量对象，或者重复对象，则效率低。
public class Order implements Externalizable {
private long id;
private String description;
private BigDecimal totalCost = BigDecimal.valueOf(0);
private List orderLines = new ArrayList();
private Customer customer;
public Order() {
}
public void readExternal(ObjectInput stream) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
this.id = stream.readLong();
this.description = (String)stream.readObject();
this.totalCost = (BigDecimal)stream.readObject();
this.customer = (Customer)stream.readObject();
this.orderLines = (List)stream.readObject();
}
public void writeExternal(ObjectOutput stream) throws IOException {
stream.writeLong(this.id);
stream.writeObject(this.description);
stream.writeObject(this.totalCost);
stream.writeObject(this.customer);
stream.writeObject(this.orderLines);
}
}
序列化输出：
----sr--model.Order---*3--^---xpw---------psr--java.math.BigDecimalT--W--(O---I--scaleL--intValt--Ljava/math/BigInteger;xr--java.lang.Number-----------xp----sr--java.math.BigInteger-----;-----I--bitCountI--bitLengthI--firstNonzeroByteNumI--lowestSetBitI--signum[--magnitudet--[Bxq-~----------------------ur--[B------T----xp----xxpsr--java.util.ArrayListx-----a----I--sizexp----w-----sr--model.OrderLine-!!|---S---xpw-----pq-~--q-~--xxx
EclipseLink MOXy - XML 和 JSON
序列化成XML或JSON可以允许其他语言访问，可以实现REST服务等。缺点是文本格式的效率比优化的二进制格式低一些，使用JAXB,你需要使用JAXB注释类，或提供一个XML配置文件。使用@XmlIDREF处理循环。
@XmlRootElement
public class Order {
@XmlID
@XmlAttribute
private long id;
@XmlAttribute
private String description;
@XmlAttribute
private BigDecimal totalCost = BigDecimal.valueOf(0);
private List orderLines = new ArrayList();
private Customer customer;
}
public class OrderLine {
@XmlIDREF
private Order order;
@XmlAttribute
private int lineNumber;
@XmlAttribute
private String description;
@XmlAttribute
private BigDecimal cost = BigDecimal.valueOf(0);
}
XML输出：
<order id="0" totalCost="0">
<orderLines lineNumber="1" cost="0">
<order>0</order
></orderLines
></order>
JSOn输出：
{"order":{"id":0,"totalCost":0,"orderLines":[{"lineNumber":1,"cost":0,"order":0}]}}
Kryo
Kryo 是一种快速，高效的序列化的Java框架。 KRYO是新的BSD许可下一个开源项目提供。这是一个很小的项目，只有3名成员，它首先在2009年出品。
工作原理类似于Java序列化KRYO，尊重瞬态字段，但不要求一类是可序列化的。KRYO有一定的局限性，比如需要有一个默认的构造函数的类，在序列化将java.sql.Time java.sql.Date java.sql.Timestamp类会遇到一些问题。
order序列化结果：
------java-util-ArrayLis-----model-OrderLin----java-math-BigDecima---------model-Orde-----
Oracle Coherence POF
Oracle Coherence 产品提供其自己优化的二进制格式，称为POF （可移植对象格式） 。 Oracle Coherence的是一个内存中的数据网格解决方案（分布式缓存） 。是一个商业产品，并需要许可证。
POF提供了一个序列化框架，并可以独立使用。 POF要求类实现一个PortableObject接口和读/写方法。您还可以实现一个单独的序列化类，或使用最新版本的序列化的注解。 POF要求每个类都被提前分配一个固定ID，所以你需要通过某种方式确定这个ID 。 POF格式是二进制格式，非常紧凑，高效，快速的，但确实需要你付出一些工作。
POF的总字节数为一个单一的订单/订单行对象为32个字节， 1593字节100 OrderLines的。我不会放弃的结果， POF是一个商业许可产品的一部分，但是是非常快的。
public class Order implements PortableObject {
private long id;
private String description;
private BigDecimal totalCost = BigDecimal.valueOf(0);
private List orderLines = new ArrayList();
private Customer customer;
public Order() {
}
public void readExternal(PofReader in) throws IOException {
this.id = in.readLong(0);
this.description = in.readString(1);
this.totalCost = in.readBigDecimal(2);
this.customer = (Customer)in.readObject(3);
this.orderLines = (List)in.readCollection(4, new ArrayList());
}
public void writeExternal(PofWriter out) throws IOException {
out.writeLong(0, this.id);
out.writeString(1, this.description);
out.writeBigDecimal(2, this.totalCost);
out.writeObject(3, this.customer);
out.writeCollection(4, this.orderLines);
}
}
序列化结果：
-----B--G---d-U------A--G-------
