serializers

Serializers are tools used in software development that convert complex data, like objects or database records, into a standardized format such as JSON or XML, making it easy to send over a network or store. They also handle converting that data back into usable objects. Think of serializers as translators that ensure data can be seamlessly shared between different parts of an application or with other systems, maintaining consistency and integrity during the process. This is especially useful in web development and APIs where data exchange is frequent.
