@jkeys089 I really liked your implementation of the java serialization protocol, it is simple and convenient. But I need to use deserialization for a stream of bytes. The bytes of the serialized objects that I have to deserialize are part of the data in the stream. The stream itself contains data bytes before and after the bytes of the serialized object. Because Since this implementation uses a slice of bytes, I cannot extract the data bytes related to the deserialized object. As a solution, I need an io.Reader, or even better a bufio.Reader, so that I can use buffered stream features like unreadByte and Peek.
The java serialization protocol does not contain end-of-byte markers for the serialized object in the stream. It is necessary to be able to complete the deserialization procedure and ignore the "unknown type" error of the serializedObjectParser.content method

Thanks for the great library!
Currently the implementation expects to always read to the end of the stream.

I have a case where the stream contains other stuff in addition to the serialised java object. And I don't have a size of the java object to be able to r = io.LimitReader(r,size) before attempting to parse.
I.e. I want to be able to do something like:

sop := jserial.NewSerializedObjectParser(r)
minimal, err := sop.ParseSingleSerializedObjectMinimal()
if err != nil {
    return err
}
r.Read(buf)

where buf would be populated with content right after the first serialised object
minimal would then be the single deserialised object, instead of a slice/jsonArray

Can you add java.time.LocalDateTime parse logic as well as java.util.Date?

Hi,
I'm glad I found this library to experiment with.

I am using the library to try reading log4j logging event. I read the connection with bufio.NewReader then fed to jserial.NewSerializedObjectParser(r)

While single item worked well, if I am trying to send multiple events at once, ie. having 2 log.debug("Hello"); in the file below, it would fail to parse anything other than the first document.

I tried peeking it, while I have EOF error, it clearly still have data behind the EOF.

Here is the log.
