Я использую C ++ Builder и у меня есть векторный массивAppointment объекты.

Я хочу сохранить его и загрузить из файла.

В настоящее время я использую ifstream и ofstream с двоичными файлами. У меня есть заголовок, который содержит размер вектора, который будет сохранен вместе с данными, чтобы знать его размер при загрузке.

Является ли сериализация лучшим способом сделать это?

Если так, нужно ли мне использовать библиотеку наддува или другим способом?

Вот мой текущий код:

class appointment
{
public:
    appointment();
    appointment(TDateTime aDate, TDateTime aReminderDateTime, string aType,
    string aLocation, string aComments, bool aIsImportant)
    {
        appDateTime = aDate;
        appReminderDateTime = aReminderDateTime;
        appType = aType;
        appLocation = aLocation;
        appComments = aComments;
        appIsImportant = aIsImportant;
    }
    void setAppDateTime(TDateTime aDateTime)
    {
        appDateTime = aDateTime;
    }
    void setappReminderDateTime(TDateTime aReminderDateTime)
    {
        appReminderDateTime = aReminderDateTime;
    }
    /*
    void printAppointmentDetails()
    {
        cout < "Appointment Date: " < appDateTime < endl;
        cout < "Appointment Reminder Date: " < appReminderDateTime < endl;
        cout < "Appointment Type: " < appType < endl;
        cout < "Appointment Location: " < appLocation < endl;
        cout < "Appointment Comments: " < appComments < endl;
        if (appIsImportant)
        {
            cout < "Appointment IsImportant: " < "Yes" < endl;
        } else {
            cout < "Appointment IsImportant: " < "No" < endl;
        }
    }
