Hi,

 

I have a server which provides configuration to different clients. 

This server uses boost's serialization to serialize the C++
configuration objects.

Some of my clients don't want to use boost for the (de-)serialization
work.

 

Will this cause any issues? Can any client deserialize the data
serialized by a boost-using entity?

What are the things that I need to take care of?

 

I did read somewhere that boost serialization should be portable (I
wonder if it means the same).

 

All help appreciated.

 

Regards,
