Comparison with Hessian

Fressian is inspired by Hessian. Both have several things in common:

• binary
• extensible
• bytecode-based

Fressian differs from Hessian in these ways:

• conveys values, not objects
• does not support circular references etc
• has different value caching rules: explicit caching of anything
• supports more base types
• accepts more generic int length specifiers and gives more codes to explicit int values
