Java Serialization Utils

Some common utils to serialize/deserialize using Java's serialization util

case class Person(name: String, age: Int)
val person = new Person("Chris", 24)

// Write
file.newOutputStream().asObjectOutputStream.serialize(obj).flush()

// Read
val person2 = file.newInputStream().asObjectInputStream.deserialize[Person]
assert(person == person2)

// Read using custom class loader:
file.newInputStream().asObjectInputStreamUsingClassLoader(classLoader = myClassLoader).deserialize[Person]

The above can be simply written as:

val person2: Person = file.writeSerialized(person).readDeserialized()
assert(person == person2)
