The Advanced Tools Module in SourcePro Core provides mechanisms for complex stream transformations and object serializations. The stream abstractions provide more ways to move data into and out of your application, and can optionally interoperate with the virtual stream mechanism in the Essential Tools Module. The serialization mechanism enables you to flatten and transport objects across communication boundaries and to store the contents of these objects to disk. The Types package provides a single class for manipulating string-based symbols.

In line with this functionality, the classes of the Advanced Tools Module are divided into three packages:

These class groups are accessible through the Modules tab of the SourcePro API Reference Guide.
