SilverStripe SerializedDataObject module
========================================

[](#silverstripe-serializeddataobject-module)

SilverStripe database field that allows saving arbitrary data in a single db field using serialization. Additionally, this module also provides some Form Field that allows saving into those database fields.

The primary motivation for this module is to be able to save collections of data and relations to other objects directly into the Object without the need of a relation table. This is especially useful since SilverStripe does not support versioning of relations at this time.
