+		GPDS is a General Purpose Data Serializer library written in modern C++.
+		It allows to serialize C++ classes to and from XML files in a generic format
+		that can be processed by other XML processing software (or just for the sake of
+		readability).
+		GPDS provides the user with complete control over the generated tag names and
+		attributes in the resulting XML compared to just using traditional "key" and
+		"value" tags.
