Object Serialization
A Sun Microsystems procedure that extends the core Java Input/Output classes with
support for objects by supporting the following:
The encoding of objects, and the objects reachable from them, into a stream of
bytes
❍
The complementary reconstruction of the object graph from the stream❍
Object Serialization is used for lightweight persistence and for communication by means
of sockets or RMI. The default encoding of objects protects private and transient data,
and supports the evolution of the classes. A class can implement its own external
encoding and is then solely responsible for the external format.
