Data serialization standards

Data serialization standards are consistent formats used to convert complex data structures into a format that can be easily stored, transmitted, and reconstructed later. Think of it as translating information into a common language so different systems or applications can understand and exchange data reliably. Common standards include JSON, XML, and Protocol Buffers. These standards ensure data integrity and compatibility across various platforms, programming languages, and devices, facilitating seamless communication and data sharing in software systems.
