    // The serializers come in very handy during the serialization of
    // entities in the ORM and is used in the CLI and HTTP server.
    // However, they are general purpose and can be used else where.
    // They are :
    // 1. Optimized for data classes
    // 2. Use reflection to get the properties to serialize
    // 3. Support recursion into nested objects
    // 4. Handle lists of type List<*> and maps of basic types Map<*,*>

    // Case 1: Serialize CSV
    val csvSerializer = SerializerCsv()
    val csvData = csvSerializer.serialize(users)

    println(csvData)


    // Case 2: Serialize Properties files
    val propsSerializer = SerializerProps()
    val propsData = propsSerializer.serialize(users)
    println("HCON ====================")
    println(propsData)


    // Case 3: Serialize JSON
    val jsonSerializer = SerializerJson()
    val jsonData = jsonSerializer.serialize(users)
    println("JSON ====================")
