Clojure's [rich data types](http://clojure.org/datatypes) are *awesome*. And its [reader](http://clojure.org/reader) allows you to take your data just about anywhere. But the reader can be painfully slow when you've got a lot of data to crunch (like when you're serializing to a database).
Nippy is an attempt to provide a reliable, high-performance **drop-in alternative to the reader**. It's used, among others, as the [Carmine Redis client](https://github.com/ptaoussanis/carmine) and [Faraday DynamoDB client](https://github.com/ptaoussanis/faraday) serializer.

## What's in the box™?
* Small, uncomplicated **all-Clojure** library.
* **Terrific performance**.
* Comprehesive **support for all standard data types**.
* **Easily extendable to custom data types**. (v2.1+)
* Java's **Serializable** fallback when available. (v2.5+)
* **Reader-fallback** for all other types (including Clojure 1.4+ tagged literals).
* **Full test coverage** for every supported type.
* Fully pluggable **compression**, including built-in high-performance [Snappy](http://code.google.com/p/snappy/) compressor.
* Fully pluggable **encryption**, including built-in high-strength AES128 enabled with a single `:password [:salted "my-password"]` option. (v2+)
* Utils for **easy integration into 3rd-party tools/libraries**. (v2+)
## Optional plugins
* [LZ4 compressor](https://github.com/mpenet/nippy-lz4) by [mpenet](https://github.com/mpenet) (v2+).
