How to use

import org.haxe.net.HaxeDeserializer;
import org.haxe.net.HaxeSerializer;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        HaxeSerializer serializer = new HaxeSerializer();
        serializer.serialize("foo");
        serializer.serialize(12);
        String s = serializer.toString();
        System.out.println(s); // y3:fooi12

        HaxeDeserializer deserializer = new HaxeDeserializer(new StringBuffer(s));
        System.out.println(deserializer.deserialize()); // foo
        System.out.println(deserializer.deserialize()); // 12
    }
}
