This is the first stable release of the FIRM gem. FIRM is a pure Ruby library that works across different Ruby implementations like MRI Ruby and JRuby providing format independent object (de-)serialization support. FIRM is explicitly *NOT* intended as a non-discriminative marshaling library (dumping any object's attributes) but rather as a structured and safe serialization library requiring users to think about what state they want persisted (and possibly in what form) and what not. Straightforward attribute serialization is simple with minimal intrusion on user code. In addition various customization options are available to tweak (de-)serialization for a perfect fit if needed. ## How to install ``` gem install firm ``` ## Where can I learn more?
