poly-scribe is a convenience wrapper around the cereal serialization library for saving or "scribing" data objects.
This includes polymorphic objects as well as data validation.
cereal can already serialize polymorphic objects, however, this library pursues a less sophisticated approach to scribing data objects.
Polymorphic data objects are serialized with a simple type tag which is used to serialize the correct type.
At the time of loading the data is then validated.
These features make this library a good fit for configurations and scribing data objects.
