Definition: Serialization in programming refers to converting a data structure, typically an object or array, into bytes (or other format) that can be stored on disk or transmitted over networks. In computer science and software development, this process aids in managing large amounts of data by reducing storage space usage and speed up processing operations. The word "serialize" originates from the ancient Greek words "seren", meaning to "separate", and "metron", meaning "measure." It is used to refer to a conversion process that takes an object or array, typically represented as a sequence of bytes (a binary format), and converts it into a file-like structure, allowing further processing without losing the data. This operation often involves a process known as serialization, where information from the original object or array is transformed into a format that can be stored or transmitted over networks.
