Serialization is used to transform data structures (as used within a program, in whatever native formats might be used by the programming language the program is in) into a file or data stream of standardized format to be saved for later use, or transmitted through a network to be used by a different program elsewhere.
- Bencode (used by BitTorrent)
- DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules)
- IWA (Apple iWork serialization; .iwa)
- JSON (.json)
- Microsoft XNA Compiled Format (.xnb)
- Property List (.plist)
- Protobuf (Protocol Buffers; a Google format also used within IWA)
- YAML (.yaml)
- Pickle (Python)
