- Deserialization
- Speed
- Limitations
Deserialize (Function) In french: Désérialise Deserializes a buffer or a character string containing the data from a class, structure, array (including an associative array), queue, stack, list or advanced variable ( gglCalendar, for example), as well as their subelements.
MyArray is array of strings
bufResult is Buffer
Add(MyArray, "WINDEV")
Add(MyArray, "WEBDEV")
Add(MyArray, "WINDEV MOBILE")
Serialize(MyArray, bufResult, psdJSON)
MyRebuiltArray is array of strings
Deserialize(MyRebuiltArray, bufResult, psdJSON)
Syntax
Deserialize(<Variable> , <Buffer> , <Parameters>)
<Variable>: Variable type Structure, class, array, queue, list or stack variable. - For a structure or a class, a value must be assigned to this variable.
- For an array, queue, list or stack, a value is automatically assigned to this variable during deserialization.
The result of the deserialization will be assigned to this variable. <Buffer>: ANSI string or Buffer Variable that contains the serialized data. A variable name must be specified. <Parameters>: Integer constant Type of deserialization (must correspond to the type chosen for the serialization): | | | psdBinary | Binary deserialization. | | psdBinaryFormat16 | Binary deserialization compatible with version 16. This format must be used if an application in version 17 or later must share data with an application in version 16 or earlier.
This format must not be used in Unicode mode. | | psdJSON | Deserialization in JSON format. | | psdXML | XML deserialization with reference to sub-objects. Reminder: This type of serialization/deserialization allows you to use XML for storing and exchanging data in applications written in WLanguage. | | psdXMLAggregated | XML deserialization with direct aggregation of sub-objects. Note: The psdXMLAggregated serialization mode allows you to easily generate a standard XML file to exchange data with other systems. The psdXMLAggregated deserialization mode is available. However, the WLanguage elements (variants, arrays, derived classes, etc.) will be different from the original elements. |  New in version 2025psdXMLArrayRepeatedElements | XML deserialization mode for handling arrays as a sequence of elements. Note: This constant must be used in combination with the psdXMLAggregated constant. Note: This constant is only available from version 2025 Update 1. |
Remarks Deserialization The deserialization of a variable of type Array, Queue or Stack deletes the contents of the element. If there are additional members in the structure or class: - if a structure or a class is deserialized, additional members keep their values from before the deserialization.
- if an array of structures or classes is deserialized, additional members take the default value of the member type.
If there are additional members in the serialized buffer, they are ignored during deserialization. To deserialize an untyped dynamic array, it must first be allocated memory To deserialize a class or structure containing an untyped dynamic array, it must first be allocated memory. The wd300xml.dll or wp300xml.dll library is necessesary to deserialize an XML document. An advanced variable that was serialized with a French version of the product (and whose names and properties are in French in the serialization buffer) can be deserialized by an English version of the product and vice versa. In advanced variables: - read-only properties are generally not deserializable.
- write-only properties are generally not serializable.
Special cases are specified in the documentation for each type. Speed Binary deserialization is faster than XML deserialization. Limitations - Fixed and associative arrays of local structures cannot be deserialized.
- Global members of classes are not serialized/deserialized.
- The XML serialization/deserialization of an array of structures with a string member containing "\0" or Charact(0) returns the following error: "Wrong serialization format". In this case, a binary serialization/deserialization is required.
- You cannot serialize/deserialize an array of classes or structures if they contain an untyped dynamic array. It is necessary to use a typed dynamic array in the class or structure.
- To serialize/deserialize a class, you need a constructor with no mandatory parameters.
 You cannot serialize/deserialize Queue, Stack or List variables. - Only JSON serialization is available for Record variables. No deserialization is possible.
- Error handling: Deserialize does not return an error code. If an error occurs, the ErrorOccurred variable is set to True.

Unit examples (WEBDEV): The Serialize/Deserialize functions
[ + ] This example explains how to use the WLanguage functions Serialize and Deserialize. The serialization consists in saving a variable, an object, a structure, an array or any other element in a buffer. Then, this buffer can be saved on disk or sent by socket. This allows for the persistence of objects. The Deserialize function is used to rebuild an object, an array or a structure from a buffer.
