title: A Replacement for Java's Native Serialization
body: <p>Use of Java's native serialization is kind of frowned upon these days, but is there a serialization library that is feature by feature equal to Java's native serialization? What I mean is that:</p>
  
  <p>(Listed by priority)</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Be able to serialize any (serializable) object (without the need for mapping, IDL, schema, etc.)</li>
  <li>Serialize to binary format</li>
  <li>Be stable/production ready</li>
  <li>Be faster than Java's Native Serialization</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I know variants of this question have been asked a few times on StackOverflow, but I couldn't find a conclusive answer, so I'm hoping to get some good conclusive answers this time.</p>
