Interface ISerializer

All Known Implementing Classes:

ByteSerializer, UniversalSerializer

public interface ISerializer

The ISerializer interface defines standard methods for serialization and deserialization of objects to and from streams. An implementation of ISerializer will be needed for connections to the remote server.

An ISerializer implementation can encrypt the communication between client and server or can optimize the traffic.
