Serilization

What

• To serialize an object means to convert its state to a byte stream so that the byte stream can be reverted back into a copy of the object.

• A Java object is serializable if its class or any of its superclasses implements either the java.io.Serializable interface or its subinterface, java.io.Externalizable.

• Deserialization is the process of converting the serialized form of an object back into a copy of the object.

• For example,

  • the java.awt.Button class implements the Serializable interface, so you can serialize a java.awt.Button object and store that serialized state in a file. Later, you can read back the serialized state and deserialize into a java.awt.Button object.
