How do I serialize enums in C++?

How do I serialize enums in C++?

To serialize enums in C++, you can convert them to their underlying integer values or use a string representation.

Can you show me an example of both methods?

Sure! For integer serialization, you can use static_cast<int>(myEnum). For string, you can create a map to convert enum values to strings.

What about deserialization? How can I convert back?

For deserialization, you can use a switch statement or a map to convert strings or integers back to enum values.

Are there any libraries that can help with this?

Yes, libraries like Boost.Serialization can simplify the process of serializing and deserializing enums.
