我可以将 object 保存到磁盘而不进行序列化吗？

Question

I would like to know whether it is possible to save an instance of some class to file on my disk and then recover it without serialization. For example converting the instance to byte array and then saving in FileStream or something else. Honestly, I am asking since not fully understand why we need serialization if we can save objects to files without it?

Answer 1

As definition of serialization says: In computing, serialization (or serialisation) is the process of translating data structures or object state into a format that can be stored (for example, in a file or memory buffer) or transmitted (for example, across a network connection link) and reconstructed later (possibly in a different computer environment).

Answer is NO, because definition of serialization.
