Serialization Tests

Comprehensive test suite for binary and JSON serialization: round-trips, reference handling, chains, and source generator integration.

Key Files

Basic Types

• AcBinarySerializerBasicTests.cs — Primitives: int, double, string, bool, DateTime, Guid.
• AcBinarySerializerDateTimeTests.cs — DateTime handling and type mismatch detection.
• AcBinarySerializerNullableTests.cs — Nullable types: int?, long?, etc.

Complex Objects

• AcBinarySerializerObjectTests.cs — Nested objects and hierarchies.
• AcBinarySerializerNavigationPropertyTests.cs — EF-style navigation properties.
• AcBinarySerializerGenericTypeTests.cs — Generic type parameters.

Reference Handling

• AcBinarySerializerChainTests.cs — Binary Chain API (CreateDeserializeChain, ThenDeserialize).
• AcBinarySerializerChainReferenceTests.cs — Chain with $id/$ref references.
• AcBinarySerializerCircularReferenceTests.cs — Circular/bidirectional references.
• AcBinarySerializerIIdReferenceTests.cs — IId interface-based reference tracking.
• AcBinarySerializerStringInterningTests.cs — String deduplication via [AcStringIntern].

JSON

• AcJsonSerializerChainTests.cs — JSON chain operations.
• AcJsonSerializerIIdReferenceTests.cs — JSON $id/$ref handling.
• AcExpressionNodeSerializationTests.cs — Expression tree serialization.

Source Generator & Performance

• GeneratedSerializerIntegrationTests.cs — Verifies generated writer types implement IGeneratedBinaryWriter.
• QuickBenchmark.cs — Performance comparison: AcBinary vs MessagePack.
• AcSerializerTestHelper.cs — Factory methods for test data.
