Smart_Store architecture overview, showing core components and data flow.

What Is Smart_Store?
Smart_Store is a modern C++ library I built to simplify dynamic data management. It offers smart memory handling, tagging, undo/redo functionality, and JSON, XML, CSV, and Binary serialization, all designed to help developers write safer, smarter code with clean architecture.
Why I Built It
While working on systems-level projects, I found myself repeatedly solving the same problems around state management, object tracking, and serialization. Smart_Store is my attempt to solve those challenges in a reusable, scalable way.
Key Features
- Smart memory handling with dynamic object tracking
- Tag-based data organization
- Undo/redo stack for state transitions
- JSON, XML, CSV, and Binary serialization and deserialization
- Clean, reusable architecture
- Thread-Safe API for concurrent access and modification
Below is a sample integration of Smart_Store in action:
#include "t_manager/ItemManager.h"
int main() {
ItemManager manager;
manager.addItem(std::make_shared<int>(42), "item1");
manager.displayByTag("item1");
manager.exportToFile_CSV("backup.csv");
manager.undo();
manager.redo();
manager.removeByTag("item1");
manager.displayByTag("item1");
return 0;
}
Common Pitfall I Encountered
During deserialization, I ran into an issue where instantiation fails if a class has only a parameterized constructor. This happens because many serialization frameworks expect a default (no-argument) constructor to create objects before populating their fields.
class Tag {
public:
Tag(std::string name, int priority);
// No default constructor
};
This issue may affect serialization, deserialization, or object pooling mechanisms that rely on default instantiation. I’m exploring clean workarounds that don’t compromise class design.
Let’s Connect:
If you’ve faced similar challenges with serialization or object tracking in C++, I’d love to hear how you approached them. Feel free to drop a comment or open an issue on GitHub, collaboration fuels better design.
