What process involves converting an object into a data format that can be stored and reconstructed later?
Encoding
Normalizing
Serialization
Decoding
Serialization is the process of converting an object into a data format that can be easily stored or transmitted and later deserialized to recreate the original object. This concept is key in application development for storing data in a format that the data store can understand and interact with. Deserialization is the reverse process, taking data structured in a specific format and building it back into an object. Encoding and Decoding refer to the process of converting data from one form to another, particularly when discussing character sets (such as UTF-8) or binary data. They can be part of the serialization process, but in themselves are not equivalent to serializing or deserializing objects.
