Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for in-situ serialization and deserialization of objects and/or types. A received object nad/or type is serialized by accessing a meta schema of cached object and type handlers formed as part of a run-time analysis of a plurality of such objects and types. Serialization is performed at run-time based on the meta schema, including referencing the cached plurality of handlers. A received object or type is deserialized by accessing a meta schema having similar cached object and type handlers formed as part of a run-time analysis of a plurality of objects and types. Deserialization is performed at run-time based on a serialization protocol and meta schema, including referencing the cached handlers.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for in-place object model analysis and traversal of third party objects/types in a cloud-based environment. Information is received from a third party system, including a plurality of third party objects and/or types. The information may pertain to both run-time structure and/or compile time structure. The received objects/types are analyzed at run-time without accessing the third party object model and/or source code. A re-usable meta schema is created and cached based on the analysis, including determining attributes, methods or supertypes for the objects/types. A type hierarchy may be pre-computed for the plurality of analyzed object models. The re-usable meta schema may then be used for run-time object/type traversal without accessing the third party object model/source code.
