Data Serialization and Representation

Data Serialization and Representation Exam

Serialization and Representation of Data means transforming information into a structured format that computers and programs can store, read, and share reliably. Since different systems may use different languages or rules, serialization acts as a “translator” to create common formats like JSON, YAML, CSV, or binary streams. This process makes communication between applications and networks efficient and consistent.
To put it simply, it’s like writing a recipe. Instead of keeping ingredients scattered in your kitchen, you write them down in an organized format so someone else can cook the same dish. Serialization does the same for data, making sure it can travel safely and be understood anywhere it goes.
