I/O Serialization

I/O Serialization :

  • Serialization refers to the conversion of structured objects into byte streams for transmission over the network or permanent storage on a disk.
  • Deserialization refers to the conversion of byte streams back to structured objects.
  • Serialization is mainly used in two areas of distributed data processing :
  • Interprocess communication
  • Permanent storage
  • We require I/O Serialization because :
  • To process records faster (Time-bound).
  • When proper data formats need to maintain and transmit over data without schema support on another end.
  • When in the future, data without structure or format needs to process, complex Errors may occur.
  • Serialization offers data validation over transmission.
  • To maintain the proper format of data serialization, the system must have the following four properties -
  • Compact - helps in the best use of network bandwidth
  • Fast - reduces the performance overhead
  • Extensible - can match new requirements
  • Inter-operable - not language-specific
