Hi,
Thanks for re-pinging us. I somehow did not see it before. Strange :).
As far as I understand, you are worried about speed. Is that right?
It was partially about speed, but also about improving the implementation,
which I don't like very much. Fuel has features that were not available
when I wrote extensions's code.
In any case, the problem with your proposition is that some properties
are not stored in explicit instance variables, but in a dictionary in
EntityState. That means that only looking at the instance variables
you can miss important things. The ultimate truth of what needs to be
serialized lies in the meta-description. I would not know how to go
around that.
Thank you, I'll think on this in a couple of weeks.
Regards,
Martin
Cheers,
Doru

It'd be better to use

and thus, serialize the MooseElements as normal Fuel objects, removing
the custom procedure.
I'll be happy to receive some help from Moose and Fame experts!
Thanks in advance.
