# You can set custom coder to encode/decode your serialized attributes to/from different formats.
# JSON, YAML, Marshal are supported out of the box. Generally it can be any wrapper that provides +load+ and +dump+.
#
+ # NOTE - If you are using PostgreSQL specific columns like +hstore+ or +json+ there is no need for
+ # the serialization provided by +store+. Simply use +store_accessor+ instead to generate
+ # the accessor methods. Be aware that these columns use a string keyed hash and do not allow access
+ # using a symbol.
+ #
# Examples:
#
# class User < ActiveRecord::Base
