In what way?
 
The "Usage" section of this page,
http://webEbenezer.net/comparison.html, gives an example
of how it's possible to produce a cleaner solution than that
afforded by the Boost Serialization library.  The Ebenezer
approach to the bus_stop example is twelve lines less than
the Boost Serialization approach.
