Serialize with the IGeodeSerializable Interface

The .NET IGeodeSerializable interface provides fast and compact data serialization.

• Generic and Custom Serializable Types

  All built-in generics are automatically registered at initialization. You have a couple of options for complex key types.

• How Serialization Works with IGeodeSerializable

  When your application puts an object into the cache for distribution, GemFire serializes the data by taking these steps.

• Implement the IGeodeSerializable Interface

  To store your own data types in the cache, you implement the GemFire IGeodeSerializable interface.

• Register the Type

  To use the BankAccount type, you must register it with the type system. Then, when an incoming stream contains a BankAccount, it can be manufactured from the associated TypeFactoryMethod.
