Serialization languages

Formats for converting data to and from a storable or transmittable representation, organized by encoding type.

• Text serialization formats
  Human-readable, text-based serialization formats, organized by format.
• Binary serialization formats
  Binary data serialization formats for compact, non-human-readable data representation.
• Dual (text + binary) serialization formats
  Serialization formats that support both a human-readable text encoding and a compact binary encoding.
