Class | Description |
---|---|
BinaryFormatter | Provides a way to serialize and deserialize an object, or an entire graph of connected objects; it uses a binary format for the serialized stream, which is both very compact, and fast to parse. |
Formatter | Provides base functionality for runtime serialization formatters. |
Notes to Implementers: This interface must be implemented by all formatters. Serialize is used to serialize an object, or graph of objects. Deserialize is used to deserialize a stream, recreating a clone of the original object, or graph of objects.
