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.
Key points about serialization in C#:
Serialization allows you to convert an object into a format that can be easily stored or transmitted, such as a byte array or a string.
Deserialization is the process of reconstructing the object from the serialized format.
Serialization is commonly used for storing and loading application state, transmitting objects across a network, and storing objects in a database.
C# provides built-in support for serialization through the System.Runtime.Serialization namespace and the [Serializable] attribute.
