+# Lyng serialization
+
+Lyng has builting binary bit-effective serialization format, called Lynon for LYng Object Notation. It is typed, binary, implements caching, automatic compression, variable-length ints, one-bit Booleans an many nice features. 
+
+It is as simple as:
+
+    import lyng.serialization
+
+    val text = "
+        We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, 
+        that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, 
+        that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.    
+        "
+    val encodedBits = Lynon.encode(text)
+
+    // decode bits source:
+    assertEquals( text, Lynon.decode(encodedBits) )
+    
+    // compression was used automatically
+    assert( text.length > encodedBits.toBuffer().size )
+    >>> void
+
+Any class you create is serializable by default; lynon serializes first constructor fields, then any `var` member fields:
+
+    import lyng.serialization
+
+    class Point(x,y)
+
+    val p = Lynon.decode( Lynon.encode( Point(5,6) ) )
+    
+    assertEquals( 5, p.x )
+    assertEquals( 6, p.y )
+    >>> void
+
+
+just as expected.
+
+Important is to understand that normally `Lynon.decode` wants [BitBuffer], as `Lynon.encode` produces. If you have the regular [Buffer], be sure to convert it:
+
+    buffer.toBitInput()
+
+this possibly creates extra zero bits at the end, as bit content could be shorter than byte-grained but for the Lynon format it does not make sense. Note that when you serialize [BitBuffer], exact number of bits is written. To convert bit buffer to bytes:
+
+    Lynon.encode("hello").toBuffer()
