serialized

 

[ ˈsɪə.ri.ə.laɪzd ]

Adjective / Verb
Context #1 | Adjective

computer science

Serialized refers to the process of converting an object into a format that can be easily stored or transmitted and later reconstructed. It is commonly used in programming to save the state of an object for later use, especially in data persistence and communication between systems.

Synonyms

converted, encoded, saved

Examples of usage

  • The data was serialized for storage in the database.
  • After serialization, the object can be sent over the network.
  • Make sure the data is serialized before saving it to the file.
Context #2 | Verb

data processing

To serialize means to transform an object or data structure into a format that can be easily stored, transmitted, or reconstructed. This process is essential for data management in software development, enabling better data handling and interoperability.

Synonyms

export, package, save

Examples of usage

  • You need to serialize this data structure before you can send it.
  • The programmer serialized the object into JSON format.
  • They decided to serialize the user's session information.

Etymology

The term 'serialized' comes from the word 'serialize', which was first used in the context of computer science in the early 1980s. Its root, 'serial', comes from the Latin 'serialis' meaning 'of a series', and relates to the concept of processing items one after the other or in a sequence. With the evolution of computing technology and the rise of data-driven applications, serialization became a crucial technique for data management, particularly in relation to object-oriented programming and distributed systems. As software systems became more complex, the need for a standardized way to encode complex data structures led to the implementation of serialization protocols. Today, serialization is widely used in programming for tasks such as data persistence, communication in networks, and efficient storage solutions.
