POxOSerializer is a fast and efficient cross-language serializer for POJO and POCO classes. The goal is to allow communication between software written in java and c#. Using this serializer you can serialize/deserialize any class that is composed by primitive types, strings, lists and maps. You can write your classes in java and use the java2csharp maven plugin (https://github.com/codejuicer/java2csharp) to generate c# equivalent classes. List (IList) and Map (IDictionary) are implemented respectively with ArrayList (List) and HashMap (Dictionary) in Java (C#). The POxOSerializer has an easy to use API with only serialize and deserialize methods.
It is not thread safe and it improve his performance along the time.
