互联网的产生带来了机器间通讯的需求，而互联通讯的双方需要采用约定的协议，序列化和反序列化属于通讯协议的一部分。通讯协议往往采用分层模型，不同模型每层的功能定义以及颗粒度不同，例如：TCP/IP协议是一个四层协议，而OSI模型却是七层协议模型。在OSI七层协议模型中展现层（Presentation Layer）的主要功能是把应用层的对象转换成一段连续的二进制串，或者反过来，把二进制串转换成应用层的对象--这两个功能就是序列化和反序列化。一般而言，TCP/IP协议的应用层对应与OSI七层协议模型的应用层，展示层和会话层，所以序列化协议属于TCP/IP协议应用层的一部分。本文对序列化协议的讲解主要基于OSI七层协议模型。
Hessian序列化
XML序列化
序列化： 将数据结构或对象转换成二进制串的过程
反序列化：将在序列化过程中所生成的二进制串转换成数据结构或者对象的过程
下面以Java序列化、Hessian序列化、JSON序列化和XML序列化为例简单分析序列化与反序列化的过程。
