ObjectInputStream

ObjectInputStream is a tool in programming used to read objects from a data source like a file or network connection. It allows programs to reconstruct complex data structures that were previously saved or sent, enabling seamless data transfer and storage. Think of it as reading a neatly packed box—ObjectInputStream unpacks the stored objects so the program can work with them again. It’s commonly used in Java to deserialize data, turning stored information back into usable objects within a program.
