.NET Serialization

.NET Serialization is a process that converts an object in a computer program into a format that can be easily stored or transmitted, such as binary data or XML. This allows the object to be saved to a file or sent over a network, and later restored to its original form. Think of serialization like packaging a product for shipment; it ensures that all the necessary information is bundled together. When the object is needed again, deserialization unpacks it, allowing the program to use the object just like it was before packaging.
