title: Speed: Java serialization or csv?
body: <p>I have a large array of Java simple structs (consists of just primitive members) and I need to save and load them from and to a file</p>
  
  <p>What would be faster, </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>implementing <I> java.io.Serializable </I> and using <I>read/writeObject</I>  <b>or </b></li>
  <li>overriding <I>toString()</I> / <I>toCSV()</I>, adding a new constructor and reading/writing to text file?</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><br><br>
  I want to avoid binary stream at this stage.</p>
