If all you want to do is serialize objects, then check out the 'Read,
'Write, 'Input & 'Output attributes relating to Ada's Streams. In most
respects, they work really slick - especially for data structures asnd
objects with inheritance - if you do it properly. Basically, if you set it
up properly, you pretty much have to do it only once at the base class level
& everything else inherits it. The only really bad news is that you have
little control over the representation of the data unless you painstakingly
build all of your own routines for the attributes.

Someone else mentioned the Grace components as a good place to start for
containers. Also see www.adapower.com for more libraries of containers and
other useful things.
