Always represent TransportableObject internally as a single array of bytes. Various properties, such as
header
, orobject_string
, decode various segments of the byte array. This allowsTransportableObject
to be serialized efficiently by simply writing out the byte array.Store the serialized object as raw picklebytes without base64-encoding. As a result,
get_deserialized()
no longer needs to create a temporary copy of the raw picklebytes. The data segment is directly unpickled. Base64-encoding is applied to the data segment or the entire internal buffer whenever a print friendly representation of theTransportableObject
is desired. A backward compatibility layer is introduced to automatically handleTransportableObject
s serialized in the earlier format.
