serializable
Convertible to bytes
Serializable describes data or objects that can be converted into a format suitable for storage or transmission—typically a sequence of bytes or text.
The term appears mainly in programming: Make sure the class is serializable before saving it to disk.
Serializable data can be reconstructed later, preserving its structure across systems or sessions.
