Nah...
While I be happy to be popular with it, I won't deny it! 
Its primary aim is to provide a much needed help with super secret project (where JSON just won't do)...

One question pops out though: why not protobuf.net? Protocol buffers provide extremely space efficient binary files, with versioning support, and .NET port can use reflection to configure the serializer without attributes. It's also among fastest serializers out there.

Well... ignorance perhaps?
I am only proficient with the .NET Serializer, DataContractSerializer, XmlSerializer and JsonSerializer.
None of them satisfied me...
So a few question about protobuf:
1. can it save IList, IList<T>, IDIctionary, IDictionary<K, V> ?
2. can it provide a simple mechanism (like surrogate) to serialize opaque type like Bitmap?
3. can it cope with a class which have different property altogether after serialization?
3.a. how does it do (3)? My serializer do 3 by saving class meta data once so that it knows what to read... does it do the same or does it save like JSON: ('property name' 'property value'), one my main contention with JSON... my serializer save type metada once, then only ('property value' 'property value' 'property value'......)

I'm not sure why but I'm always interested in a new serializer! 
+1 for article
You might be interested in Transit [^]from the Clojure community that allows for self-describing extensibility.

Haha thanks...
I had a quick look at Transit.. but it's not C#!
All my super secret take over the world project are in C#...

I was about to replay (once again, like 2 thread above above protocol buffer): Ignorance.
But then, following your link (for Avro serializer at least) and going down the memory lane on protocol buffer with a CP Article, the answer is obvious: I want something as simple as NewtonSoft JsonConverter. It should just work!
And also it should work with object or subclass.
And while you can use some attribute with it, it should work fine without any!
In a word I want to serialize that (without any more hidden work!):
class Data {
public object Something;
public List<object> MoreThings { get; } = new List<object>();
}

Upgraded from 10.1 to 15.2, got a bunch of deprecated warnings, but the app came up! Which is saying something, because I'm not using just the vanilla DX controls, they're all sub-classed with lots of custom additions.

Going from WinForm controls version 12 to 13 (I think it was) broke some one of our subclasses pretty bad (years ago) 
Other than that I have only good experiences with DevExpress 
I'm pretty sure that if you added a support ticket "trying to update v1 to the latest greatest and it's not working" they'd give you a helpful answer within a day

Yes, I see...

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
I can still run my Win95 program on Windows 10... so it's probably a bad thing!

You should be able to run every single win'95 program on winio, because that is the just one job that an operating system has to do.

Yup, just keep on thinking that the ten highly educated, trained, and experienced Chinese engineers for every American one are useless idiots...

Never said they were idiots, however
I believe their capacity for reverse engineering (possibly funded by non-Chinese companies)knows no boundries.

Er, yeah, like no engineer in any other country has ever reverse-engineered or been inspired by other people's work.
They ain't aliens from outer space; they're people (and engineers) and they behave just like people (and engineers) from any other country (and bear in mind that it was Chinese engineers and designers who fixed all the problems and filled in the multitude of gaps in apple's rough, marketing-based designs -- I dare say that, just like with every product, a good half of iWhatever design is the creation of the poor sods who have to actually make the damned things).
They're going to kick our @rses good and proper, if we're not smart enough to react well -- and "let's nuke the fackers!" and "Hurh! All they can do is copy!" could hardly be defined as the epitome of reacting well.

Did you notice the joke icon?
Just saying!

Hunh? Do you sign in with different accounts?
I don't believe in icons, anyway, unless you can double-click 'em.

Why do you say that?
The icon was there and you reacted... mmm... forcefully? Just pointed out there was need for a storm in a teacup...
Even though it has nothing to do with me... except the natural instinct for fairness!
