The implementation of serialization interfaces means only the class can be serialized or deserialized. Users can use the serialization mechanism of Java by implementing java.io.Serializable or java.io.Externalizable. JDK Serializable is a serialization framework of Java. Serialization Frameworks 2.1 JDK Serializable The following parts test and compare JDK Serializable, FST, Kryo, Protobuf, Thrift, Hessian, and Avro. This article tests the supports for Java data types and syntaxes in different serialization frameworks. Supports for Java Data Types and Syntax: Different serialization frameworks support different data types and syntaxes.

The encoding and decoding time is also an important indicator that affects the selection of serialization protocol because systems are pursuing high performance.

Serialized data is usually used for persistence or network transmission, so its size is an important indicator.

Performance: The serialization performance includes time overhead and space overhead.

So, it is necessary to consider the scalability of the serialization framework.

Scalability: As the business grows, the transmission entity may change, but the old entity may still be used.

Usability: Usability refers to whether the serialization framework is easy to use and debug, which affects development efficiency.

Universality: Universality indicates whether the serialization framework supports cross-language and cross-platform serialization.

This article compares open-source serialization frameworks in the industry by the universality, usability, scalability, performance, and supports for Java data types and syntax. However, the current variety of serialization frameworks confuses people about the selection of serialization frameworks in different scenarios. Serialization and deserialization are common techniques used in daily data persistence and network transmission.
