How can I transfer std::multimap data over socket

Question

I have a std::multimap variable containing key-value data, and want to transfer it to a remote server over socket.

I known, in Java, we can serialize the object as byte stream and transfer it. However, can I do the same thing in C++? If not, how can I transfer std::multimap data over socket in C++?

Meanwhile, are there some other methods to transfer std::multimap data over socket without serialization, or using 3rd library?

Thanks in advance!

@RawN, I was also wondering whether there is some other ways to transfer a STL container without using a 3rd party library. — ignorer, Feb 12 '17 at 21:01
