System.Xml.Serialization (namespace)

The System.Xml.Serialization namespace in programming provides tools to convert objects in code into XML format and back again. This process, called serialization, allows data to be stored or transmitted in a structured, readable way that can be easily shared across different systems. It simplifies working with XML by automatically mapping object properties to XML elements, making it easier for developers to handle data exchange, configuration files, or storage without writing complex code. Essentially, it streamlines the process of translating between in-memory data structures and standard XML documents.
