Kryo is a fast and efficient binary object graph serialization framework for Java with an easy-to-use API. It also supports automatic deep and shallow object copying without going through bytes.

Use cases

  • serialize java objects to binary for persistence
  • send objects over the network efficiently
  • deep clone object graphs in java
  • reduce serialized payload size
  • fast serialization for caching or messaging

When to choose

  • you need high-performance binary serialization on the JVM
  • you want automatic serialization of arbitrary object graphs
  • you need direct deep/shallow object cloning

When to avoid

  • you need human-readable or cross-language formats like JSON or protobuf
  • you require strict schema evolution and interoperability across platforms
  • you serialize untrusted data without careful deserialization limits
