serialize

Release in parts

To serialize is to produce or publish something in sequential parts rather than all at once.

Novels were once commonly serialized in magazines, with new chapters appearing weekly or monthly.

Television shows are serialized when episodes form a continuous narrative rather than standalone stories.

In computing, to serialize is to convert data into a format that can be stored or transmitted and later reconstructed—turning complex structures into a sequence of bytes.
