Almost all programming languages support serialization and deserialization operations. Some might use different names for these processes, but the concept is found in almost all.

In programming languages, serialization is the process of converting data to a binary format for storing it or for sending it over the network. Deserialization is the reverse of that process.

In programming languages, serialization is the process of converting data to a binary format for storing it or for sending it over the network. Deserialization is the reverse of that process.

Object serialization is the process of converting an in-memory object (graph) into a stream of bytes for transport and storage. Deserialization is the reverse process.

The process of serialization and deserialization, especially of input from untrusted sources, has been the cause of many remote code execution vulnerabilities in a variety of programming languages.
