The original poster was asking about both.

I would imagine that transforming objects into strings 
could result in some performance penatly as well as requiring
more programming effort. 

To convert arbitrary information to a string is fairly
straight forward (even allowing for flattening),
but going the other way isn't necessarily, 
esp. as you have to determine exactly what type of object
the string represents.

You could utilise the streams feature to convert it to/from
in a standardised way, but to me that seems a lot of work 
compared to the Java equivalent.
