prautobeans

this project was written with the following goals in mind

1. enable an alternative autobeans marshalling and proxy codebase
   1. on serverside
   2. use a jdk8 baseline
   3. soon gwt 2.7 client, with bytebuffers
2. marshal a binary encoding
   1. that packs element sizes into bytes, or 32-bit ints when >254, and someday never, longs
   2. that packs booleans into bits,
   3. that packs nulls into bits (or adds one bit to non-null nullables)
   4. that packs a DAG of proto defined objects
   5. DirectByteBuffer compatibility for zero-copy IO, to solve a need for Direct IO where existing proto based generators to date rely on heap based byte[]
3. use maven to generate src/main/proto into the above autobeans and marshalling proxies
4. heap-averse and compact code, c-like, suitable for a c++ interop port in the near-term
