What is object serialization?

Govind Seshadri

Serializing an object involves encoding its state in a structured way within a byte array. Once an object is serialized, the byte array can be manipulated in various ways; it can be written to a file, sent over a network using a socket-based connection or RMI, or persisted within a database as a BLOB.

The serialization process encodes enough information about the object type within the byte stream, allowing the original object to be easily recreated upon deserialization, at a later point in time.
