what is meant by serialization?

Answer Posted / ranganathkini

Serialization is the process of translating a state of an
object into a stream of bytes.

The process of reconstructing an object from a stream of
bytes that represent its serialized state is called
de-serialization.

Serialization is mostly used when the state of objects have
to be written to persistent storage for later retrieval or
for transfer over a network.
