What is Object
Serialization?
lJava data I/O
classes are not object friendly
lIf you want to
save the state of an object you should use object
serialization
lIt is a
mechanism that can be used to enable persistence
lIt is useful for
any application that wants to:
–Save the state of objects to a file
and read those objects later to reconstruct the
state of program
–Send an object over the network using
sockets
