Freshers Serialization in C# & Types (JSON /XML/ BINARY)

Serialization  in C#
Definition:
Process to convert a object into stream of data into memory cache/ physical file/ database

Usage: For Maintain/Preserve data present inside a class  will be store for  future usage/ reference using Serialization for easy understanding below sample


Sample 1:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary;

/* This class information will be serialized and  stored in the file  Serializable attribute above the class name will make all fields present inside the class to be serialized if you need to omit any variable from serializing you need to placed [NonSerializable()] attribute above the field operaion* /

[Serializable()]
