Serialize/deserialize on stream

Features & Ideas

Hi,

In extention to my other post regarding the adding of the ACIS solids, I have a question: Since speckel returns and provides JSON,
Is it possible to serialize to the stream itself? Or is this not possible?

2

To what end? Embed streams within objects or compressed payload?

could be beneficial for Library management in Speckle itself and a.o. sending the acis solid as a class to the stream directly.
payload compression could be an added benefit, but not my goal per-se

You can easily add with our dynamic notation any other properties to your objects! Adding a new property holding the serialised ACIS info is definitively doable:

myC3DBrep["@acis"] = "serialised ACIS notation"

or if you want to be fancy:

var acisWrapper = new Base();
acisWrapper["serialisedInfo"] = "etc. ";
acisWrapper["source"] = "Civil3D";
myC3DBrep["@acisObject"] = acisWrapper;

A note on payload compression: we do that anyway at the “infrastructure” layer when sending, receiving, & storing - so the gains you would get are minimal if any; i wouldn’t bother!

Very cool, did not know this was as easy as that!
I will give it a go soon!
