If you don't need to exchange the data with other apps, serialization in Java is actually quite decent.

  You still need to make `ObjectStream os = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream(filename))); MyObject mo = (MyObject) os.readObject();` which is the most basic form I can think of (you've got to put in all them bloody `try/catches` as well don't forget, along with `public class MyClass { public static void main(String[] args) { ...` etc. etc.). Whereas javascript you can just go `require(myjsonfile)` I love java, but Javascript is indeed great for some of these kinds of things :-)

    > Whereas javascript you can just go `require(myjsonfile)` I'm not current on Node features, but that looks dangerous to do. Is that equivalent to reading the file and `eval()`ing it?

No: > const fs = require('fs') undefined > fs.writeFileSync('file.js', 'console.log("yes")'); require('./file') yes {} > fs.writeFileSync('file.json', 'console.log("no")'); require('./file.json') SyntaxError: file.json: Unexpected token c in JSON at position 0
