Serialization and Deserialization
Explore the concepts of serialization and deserialization in REST API test automation. Learn how to convert Java objects to JSON data streams and back using Rest Assured and the Jackson library to handle API request and response bodies effectively.
What is serialization?
Serialization is the process of converting objects into a stream of data.
What is deserialization?
Deserialization is the process of converting a stream of data into objects.
The main purpose of serialization and deserialization is to persist the data and recreate it whenever needed.
We have considered the Rest Assured library for making REST API calls. We will keep the scope within those capabilities of Rest Assured and the libraries it depends on.
As we keep learning ...
