ReferenceStream is a class within Squeak allows
Objects to be stored.
It holds circular references. It is stored as a binary format
structured very closery to the image format. ImageSegment uses it.
Yes, I know as I am using this for saving objects in several Seaside
projects.
Lukas, why having used ReferenceStream and not SIXX?
Does it makes a
big difference when loading back objects?
SIXX is terribly slow and the files get huge, even when you store
almost nothing. Another problem I encountered, was the VisualWorks XML
parser that sometimes got into troubles while reading those big files.
I think SIXX is a good solution to export and import wikis, but not as
a standard and secure storage mechanism.
Cheers,
Lukas
