序列化只不过是将Java支持的对象转换为文件支持的形式

                         (OR)

将Java支持的形式转换为网络支持的形式..序列化的主要范围只是将数据从一层传输到另一层…只有序列化的对象，我们可以通过网络发送。

序列化是将无序数据(如对象)转换为一系列标记的过程，这些标记以后可用于重建原始数据。序列化形式通常是一个文本字符串，但不一定非得是这样。

Serialization is the process of converting an object into a stream of bytes to store the object or transmit it to memory, a database, or a file. Its main purpose is to save the state of an object in order to be able to recreate it when needed. The reverse process is called deserialization. ... This illustration shows the overall process of serialization ... Through serialization, a developer can perform actions like sending the object to a remote application by means of a Web Service, passing an object from one domain to another, passing an object through a firewall as an XML string, or maintaining security or user-specific information across applications

序列化是将Java、c#或任何其他(OOP语言)支持的对象转换为可移植形式的过程。通过这种方式，它可以通过网络传输或存储在磁盘上。对于可序列化的类，它必须实现可序列化的接口。

序列化是将对象转换为字节流以存储对象或将其传输到内存、数据库或文件的过程。它的主要目的是保存对象的状态，以便在需要时能够重新创建它。

When instantiating (constructing) the actual object(the thing) from a class (blueprint) there is a need to save the object (thing) by serializing it (breaking it down to its basic atomic structure) to a space in memory. (Kind of like Star Treks Transporter). You break the thing down into it stream of information that can be transported somewhere and stored. Then when you want to reconstruct the thing you just pull the atomically stored instance back into the object. Different from instaniation.
