Serialisation

Serialization is the process of converting data or an object into a format that can be easily stored or transmitted. Think of it like turning a book into a digital file. When you serialize an object, you transform its properties and state into a format (like JSON or XML) that can be saved to a database or sent over the internet. Later, this data can be deserialized, or converted back into its original format, allowing software systems to share and reconstruct complex data structures easily. It's essential for data exchange in programming and web services.
