Project Description
YAXLib is an XML Serialization library which helps you structure freely the XML result, choose among private and public fields to be serialized, and serialize all known collection classes and arrays (single-dimensional, multi-dimensional, and jagged arrays)
in the .NET Framework.
See this article hosted on CodeProject to see how to use the library. The article is also found in the
Doc folder: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/34045/Yet-Another-XML-Serialization-Library-for-the-NET

- Support for multi-stage deserialization.
- Allowing the programmer to add comments for the elements in the XML result.
