Transient Fields

Transient fields are variables within a class in programming that are marked to be ignored during the process of saving the object’s state, such as when serializing. This means their data isn’t stored when the object is written to a file or sent over a network. Typically, transient fields hold temporary or sensitive information that doesn't need to persist beyond the current runtime context. When the object is reloaded or reconstructed, transient fields are usually reset to theirdefault values. This helps manage memory, security, and efficiency by excluding non-essential data from serialization.
