Articles about Serialization
A new serie of articles about serialization is on the way on WikiJava.
Serialization is one of the most important concepts in any programming language, it is basically the process of taking data from memory and convert it into a byte version (serial).
Serialization is fundamental whenever one needs to save information in a file for later use or send information over the network.
Over the years there have been developed many different technologies for serialization like:
- XML
- SQL and databases
- CORBA
- RMI
- JSON
- ASN
- Fast Object Serialization
The serie of articles on WikiJava will cover all these technologies to provide a complete reference manual about them.
The first article, about the serialization API from the JSE, is already published here. More will be available soon in the category serialization.
