This Asphalt framework component provides a standardized interface for a number of different serialization algorithms:

• CBOR (using cbor2)
• JSON (using the Python standard library json module)
• msgpack (using msgpack-python)
• Pickle (using the Python standard library pickle module)
• YAML (using PyYAML)

Additional backends may be provided through third party plugins.

Some serializers also provide hooks for safely (un)marshalling custom types and this mechanism can easily be plugged into a third party marshalling library.
