        # Siero

A serialization library that can handle functions, promises and symbols too.

In general arbitrary functions/promises/symbols can't be transferred between workers/processes/VMs, but this library enables you to do the next best thing: by having the two execution contexts communicate with each other you can write code as if functions/promises/symbols got actually transferred between them.

Check out [`siero-worker`](https://github.com/fabiospampinato/siero-worker) for an opinionated way to spawn a worker that you can talk to via Siero.

## Limitations

- Symbols that are created independently in two realms, without `Symbol.for`, won't be equal to each other.

- Symbol properties are only preserved if attached to plain objects.

- Arbitrary custom properties are also only preserved if attached to plain objects.

- Prevent-extension/sealed/frozen flags are also only preserved for plain objects.

- Custom configurable/enumerable/writable flags for properties are not preserved at all.

- Getter/setter properties are not preserved as functions, they will instead be resolved.

- For error objects only the `name`, `message`, `stack`, `cause` and `errors` properties are preserved.

- The specific type of function constructor (regular, arrow, async etc.) is not preserved.

- Deserialized functions will always return a Promise, even if the original function didn't.

- Generators and async generators are not currently serializable.

## Install

```sh

npm install --save siero

```

## Usage

```ts

import {serialize, deserialize} from 'siero';

// Let's serialize a supported value

const value = { whatever: 123 }; // Any supported value

const serialized = serialize ( value );

// Let's deserialize it

const deserialized = deserialize ( serialized );

```
