+```java
+import com.andrewlalis.record_net.RecordMappedSerializer;
+import java.io.*;
+
+class Main {
+    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
+        record MyData(int a, float b, String s) {}
+        record FileData(String name, byte[] data) {}
+        
+        // Register the record types you want to use.
+        RecordMappedSerializer serializer = new RecordMappedSerializer();
+        serializer.registerType(MyData.class);
+        serializer.registerType(FileData.class);
+
+        // Write records.
+        ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
+        serializer.writeMessage(new MyData(42, 3.1415f, "Hello world!"), out);
+        serializer.writeMessage(new FileData("test.txt", new byte[]{1, 2, 3, 4}), out);
+        byte[] serialized = out.toByteArray();
+
+        // Read records.
+        Object obj = serializer.readMessage(new ByteArrayInputStream(serialized));
+        switch (obj) {
+            case MyData d -> System.out.println("Got MyData: " + d);
