Sending Serializable Object Data to Standard Out
I can’t really think of a good reason why you’d want t send object data to std out (System.out), but I recently had a project requirement that a parent process read the output from a child process. The child process output was complex, so I wondered if I could send it as object data instead of text. I was told, “You can’t do that”, which is when I knew that I would find a way. Turns out, it was easier than expected. As you’ve probably guessed, sending text would be faster. I didn’t time it against sending text, so I don’t know by how much. If you time it, let me know your results.
