	/**
	 * 	The ObjectEncoding class is used in defining serialization settings in
	 * 	classes that serialize objects (such as FileStream, NetStream,
	 * 	NetConnection, SharedObject, and ByteArray).
	 * 
	 * 	Object encoding controls how objects are represented in serialized
	 * 	formats, such as the Active Message Format (AMF) used by the Flash
	 * 	runtime. Flash Player uses AMF to enable efficient communication
	 * 	between an application and a remote server. AMF encodes remote procedure
	 * 	calls into a compact binary representation that can be transferred over
	 * 	HTTP/HTTPS or the RTMP/RTMPS protocol used by Flash Media Server.
	 * 	Objects and data values are serialized into this binary format, which
	 * 	is generally more compact than other representations, such as XML.
	 * 
	 * 	OpenFL supports additional object encoding formats on non-Flash targets,
	 * 	including the Haxe Serialization Format (HXSF) and JavaScript Object
	 * 	Notation (JSON) for efficient communication for objects.
	 * 
	 * 	Although AMF support is included in the Flash runtime, use of AMF on
	 * 	other targets requires the Haxe "format" library.
	 * 
	 * 	_You can add the "format" library to your project by using
	 * 	`<haxelib name="format" />` in an OpenFL project XML file._
	 * 
	 * 	Adobe AIR and Flash Player 9 can serialize in two different formats:
	 * 	AMF3 and AMF0. AMF3, the default serialization developed for
	 * 	ActionScript 3.0, provides various advantages over AMF0, which is used
	 * 	for ActionScript 1.0 and 2.0. AMF3 sends data over the network more
	 * 	efficiently than AMF0. AMF3 supports sending `int` and `uint` objects as
	 * 	integers and supports data types that are available only in
	 * 	ActionScript 3.0, such as ByteArray, XML, and IExternalizable. It is
	 * 	available only in ActionScript 3.0 and with servers that use AMF3
	 * 	encoding, such as Flex 2.
	 * 
	 * 	The ByteArray, FileStream, NetConnection, NetStream, SharedObject,
	 * 	Socket, and URLStream classes contain an `objectEncoding` property that is
	 * 	assigned a constant from the ObjectEncoding class. The behavior of the
	 * 	`objectEncoding` property differs depending on the object; each class's
	 * 	`objectEncoding` property description explains the behavior more
	 * 	thoroughly.
