RE: createing a transparent interface for serialization?

Have you examined ORM solutions? Hibernate is very popular, for example.

Take care,

Subject: createing a transparent interface for serialization?

Hello all,
I want to set up serialization of objects in my mud engine a bit differently 
than it currently is.
Right now, Ijust write all the values to a file in binary form, then read them 
back in in the same order, but Iwant the user to be
able to choose xml, binary, or any other sort of backend they want for 
serialization.
So, Ihave a question. how should this be done? the idea would be for each 
object to call a function, without having to know what it
is storing.
I've thought my player file will look like this:
<player>
<name>ty</name>
<password>asdfghjklasdfghjkl</password>
</player>
so Isuppose Ican just do a key-value sort of setup where Isend the name and the 
value, and binary can ignore the name while XML does
not?
That being said though, I still need to set it up a bit differently from that, 
so any help is appriciated with suggestions and
ideas.
