serializations
Stories in parts
Serializations are instances of converting data or objects into a format that can be stored or transmitted and later reconstructed.
In computing, serialization transforms complex structures into byte streams or text formats like JSON: The API handles serializations automatically.
In publishing, serializations are works released in installments: The novel first appeared as serializations in a magazine.
