<h2 id="heading-data-serialization">Data Serialization</h2>
Serialization is basically a process of converting data objects that is present in some complex data structure into a stream of data or storage that can be used to transfer this data on our physical devices.

Object is a combination of code and data. It is basically a data storage unit.
<h3 id="heading-another-definition-of-serialization">Another definition of serialization?</h3>
It is basically a process of converting the data object which is a combination of code and data into series of bytes that saves the state of this object in a form that is easily transmittable.
Deserialization is the reverse of serialization which is of reconstructing a data structure or object from a series of bytes or a string.
YAML, JSON, and XML are data serialization languages.
Benefits of YAML:
<ul>
<li>It is simple and easy to read.
</li>
<li>It has strict syntax rule(Indentation is important).
</li>
<li>Easily convertible to JSON and XML.
</li>
<li>More powerful when representing complex data.
