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

(强调我的)

序列化是指当对象的状态可以保存在文件中时，对象(内存块)转换为一种形式(例如)。

就像做饼干一样，对象是一个面团，饼干是一个序列化的面团。

所以通过“序列化”，你可以把cookie发送给你的朋友。

就像这样:-)

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.

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。

看看这个，它会给你一个很好的解释:

我认为序列化这个术语最常见的用法是将二进制对象转换为XML(或其他字符串)表示形式，这样它就可以存储在数据库/文件中，或者在web服务调用中通过网络发送。反序列化是相反的过程——将XML/字符串转换回对象。

编辑: 您可能遇到的另一个术语是编组/解组。编组基本上是与序列化相同的概念，而解组与反序列化相同。

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。
