creational.prototype.copy_through_serialization.js

The document defines three classes: Address, Person, and Serializer, which facilitate the creation and manipulation of address and person objects. The Serializer class includes methods for marking objects with type indices, reconstructing them, and cloning objects while preserving their structure. An example demonstrates creating a Person object, cloning it, and modifying the clone without affecting the original.
