The grand plan for this tutorial is to learn how to serialize/deserialize any object efficiently in time and space, so you could focus on other, more interesting things.

This tutorial will cover these main topics:

• Hello World serialize a simple struct.
• 2 in 1 write one control flow for both: serialization and deserialization.
• Composer efficiently compose complex serialization flows.
• Squeeze Me! compress your data when you know what it stores.
• Anything is Possible extend library for custom container, compress geometry and more.
• Little or Big change endianness if you want best performance on PowerPC.

In order to successfully use the library you need c++14 compatible compiler. In theory you could also use c++11 compatible compiler, but c++14 generic lambdas really change the way you can work with this library, so all tutorial sections will asume that you use c++14 compatible compiler.

So without further ado lets start with hello world.
