(defun encode-to-string (object) (prin1-to-string object)) (defun decode-from-string (string) (read-from-string string)) Now, of course, this works only for objects that are printable readably. > Can I use other format than the symbolic one? Yes, but you will have to implement the serializer yourself. -- __Pascal Bourguignon__
