You could always use a nice JSON library like GSON or Genson for serializing objects - it is my goto approach for any remotely complex object. GSON is slightly more compact for simple operations but if you have any sort of inheritance / polymorphism in your views, I would highly recommend Genson. You can have a ctr with argument aslong as you document them.
