Hello, Now in Swift object server (swift.object.server.DiskFile) for serialization objects meta data used python cPickle module. So the question is why not use other portable serialization format for this, for example JSON?
If you're asking why the initial design decision was made to use pickle instead of JSON, I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that one. Perhaps one of the original developers will chime in here.
If you're asking why Swift continues to use pickles instead of JSON, it's because pickles are adequate for the task, and migrating would be a big pain.
