It wasn’t until I found out about serialization and deserialization that the whole mystery was solved. Let me walk you through a real-world problem that I faced and how serialization almost ruined my performance . 🤔 What is Serialization? 📦 Serialization is the process of converting an object into a byte stream , so that it can be saved to a file or transmitted over the network .
