Serializable Interface

The Serializable interface in programming is a way to mark objects so they can be converted into a format that can be easily stored or transmitted, such as saving to a file or sending over a network. This process, called serialization, transforms complex objects into a sequence of bytes, which can later be reconstructed back into the original object through deserialization. Implementing Serializable ensures that an object's state can be preserved and restored, enabling data persistence or communication between different parts of a system. It’s a fundamental concept for data handling in many Java applications.
