C# (Serialization)

Serialization in C# is the process of converting an object into a format that can be easily stored or transmitted, like XML or JSON. Think of it as taking a snapshot of an object’s data, allowing it to be saved to a file or sent over a network. When you need the object back, deserialization is the reverse process, reconstructing the object from the stored data. This is useful for saving application state, sharing data between different systems, or persisting data in databases, ensuring that complex data structures can be easily handled and exchanged.
