Pickling
In this lesson, you'll learn how to pickle and unpickle objects in Python.
We'll cover the following
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.
The most common way to serialize Python objects is called pickling. Python can also use JSON and XML for serialization.
