Serialization and Deserialization in C#
Serialization and deserialization in C# refer to the process of converting an object or data structure into a format that can be easily stored, transmitted, or persisted, and then reconstructing that object or data structure from its serialized form.
Serialization:
This is the process of converting an object or data structure into a format that can be easily stored or transmitted. Serialization is commonly used when you need to save an object’s state to a file or send it over a network. The serialized data can be in various formats such as binary, JSON, XML, etc. In C#, the process of serialization is typically handled by classes like BinaryFormatter, JsonSerializer, or XmlSerializer.
Deserialization:
This is the process of reconstructing an object or data structure from its serialized form. It is the reverse of serialization. Deserialization is commonly used when you need to read an object’s state from a file or receive it over a network. In C#, the process of deserialization is also handled by classes like BinaryFormatter, JsonSerializer, or XmlSerializer.
