From Overview of JDK Version 1.1 Extensions CPS616 -- Information Track of CPS -- Spring Semester 97. by Nancy J. McCracken
Provides the ability to write the complete state of an object to an output stream and then recreate the object later by reading the serialized representation from an input stream.
Classes ObjectOutputStream and ObjectInputStream have methods to read and write objects (as well as primitive types).
Used for transferring objects in cut-and-paste, RMI, and JavaBeans.
Also useful for saving customized or pre-initialized states of objects such as GUI's.
