Pickling

Explore the concept of serialization in Python by learning how to use pickling to convert objects into byte streams for saving or transferring. Understand the pickle module's methods for dumping and loading objects and discover the limitations and security risks of pickling.

Introduction to serialization

Serializing (sometimes called marshalling) an object turns it into a linear stream of bytes. This can be done to save an object on a file, or to transmit it to another process. The byte stream can be deserialized (unmarshalled) to reconstruct the original object.
