B4J Question About B4XSerializator

[pesquera]

Hi,

I wanted to investigate about this topic.. could please somebody tell me where to find some info, or tell me how does it work?
I know that it's for converting complex objects to bytes.. but, is it related about encryption data? if not, what happens wrong without using it?

Please, take a look at this post: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...ized-key-value-store.63536/page-3#post-412718

What does this exactly mean? -> "You can only send bytes over the network"
Is not possible to send strings data type, or.. is not convenient to do that?

Imagine that I don't need to send complex data types to the store, just strings.. then I can modify the class to work without serialization, but.. I don't know the negative impact of doing that

Thanks a lot for any help

B4XSerializator doesn't encrypt the data.

It takes objects and converts them (serializes them) to bytes.

You can use your own serialization method if you want to interact with a non-B4X program.
