6.36 Fuel

Fuel is a fast binary serializer that defines a pickle format based on clustering similar objects. It reduces deserialization overhead compared to other approaches. It supports class shape changing (when a variable has been added, or removed, or its index changed), cyclic object graphs, serialization of several special objects like CompiledMethod (in a binary way, without compiling code) and Classes, etc.

To install, execute:

 Gofer new
        squeaksource: 'Fuel';
        package: 'ConfigurationOfFuel';
        load.
 (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfFuel) load.
