Where does the name "serialization" come from?

Question

IT terminology

Where does the name "serialization" come from?

Answer 1

It has always seemed obvious to me (since I was introduced to this concept while programming in C++ under Windows NT 4) that the word serialization means converting an object into a deterministic sequence (hence "serial" - "serial", like "serial port") bytes (usually binary sequences, now more often text such as XML or JSON) that can be stored on disk or transmitted over the network for later reproduction of the state of the object.

Answer 3

A series of bits, maybe for example

Answer 4

It seems to me that serialization in programming comes from the serialization of editions of publications or works of art.
That is, the release of some articles in parts or a book consisting of several parts.
Further, it came to IT as a conversion of parallel data into serial data for transferring them over a communication channel.
Further, it began to be used to convert an object into a stream in programming languages.
But that's just my personal theory :)
