Serialization & Deserialization in Java

The document explains serialization and deserialization in Java, highlighting that serialization converts objects into byte streams for storage or transfer, while deserialization reconstructs objects from these streams. It outlines the implementation process, advantages, limitations, and scenarios for using serialization. Key points include the need for the Serializable interface, performance overhead, and security concerns.

Serialization is the process of
converting an object into a byte
stream. This byte stream can then be:

1. Stored in a file or database.

2. Transferred across a network.

3. Used for deep cloning of objects.

Deserialization is the reverse
process of Serialization. It
reconstructs an object from a byte
stream, restoring its state in
memory.

A class must implement the
𝗷𝗮𝘃𝗮.𝗶𝗼.𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 interface to
allow its objects to be serialized.

2. 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗢𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 :
Write the serialized object to a file or
output stream.

3. 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗢𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗜𝗻𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 :
Read the serialized object from
a file or input stream.
