16. Serialization and Deserialization
Serialization is a mechanism in Java that converts an object into a byte stream, allowing it to be saved or transmitted efficiently. Deserialization is the reverse process, reconstructing the object from the byte stream, which is crucial for data persistence and distributed systems. Key keywords like transient and the serialVersionUID play important roles in managing serialization, allowing developers to control what gets serialized and handle versioning effectively.
