Ruby object to Java object

I want to create an object from a Ruby program and store it in an SQL database as a blob. I then want to be able to read this blob directly into a Java program at a later date. I understand that these blobs will probably be incompatible. How can I go about making a Java-readable blob from Ruby?

You should use thrift, it is much faster than (de)serializing json. See the benchmark here

  1. Serialize ruby object to YAML (or JSON, XML etc)
  2. Save it in the DB
  3. Deserialize it from YAML to Java object

You can use json (xml, yaml) format to store object as string. And parse it in java.
